With the U.S. space shuttle Discovery arriving at the International Space Station on February 26, 2011, the orbiting observatory is filled to the brim with a record-breaking number of spaceships from four different space agencies.
At 2:14 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST), or 1914 Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), the NASA space shuttle Discovery docked to one of the ports on the Harmony module, which is attached to the International Space Station (ISS).
At that point, four different space agencies (United States: NASA; Russia: Roscosmos; Japan: JAXA; and Europe: ESA) had spacecraft docked to the ISS – a new record in space travel for Earth.
