The International Space Station is a product of global collaboration, with its components manufactured across the world.

The modules of the [[Russian Orbital Segment]], including ''[[Zarya (ISS module)|Zarya]]'' and ''[[Zvezda (ISS module)|Zvezda]]'', were produced at the [[Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center]] in Moscow. ''Zvezda'' was initially manufactured in 1985 as a component for the ''[[Mir-2]]'' space station, which was never launched.<ref name=":4">{{cite web|title=Building ISS|url=https://nara.getarchive.net/collections/building-iss-timeline|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211028222416/https://nara.getarchive.net/collections/building-iss-timeline|archive-date=28 October 2021|access-date=28 October 2021|website=U.S. National Archives & DVIDS}} {{PD-notice}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=<!--Not stated-->|title=ISS Zvezda|url=http://www.astronautix.com/i/isszvezda.html|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160820144918/http://www.astronautix.com/i/isszvezda.html|archive-date=20 August 2016|access-date=5 July 2019}}</ref>

Much of the [[US Orbital Segment]], including the ''[[Destiny (ISS module)|Destiny]]'' and ''[[Unity (ISS module)|Unity]]'' modules, the [[Integrated Truss Structure]], and [[Electrical system of the International Space Station|solar arrays]], were built at NASA's [[Marshall Space Flight Center]] in [[Huntsville, Alabama]] and [[Michoud Assembly Facility]] in [[New Orleans]].<ref name=":4" /> These components underwent final assembly and processing for launch at the [[Operations and Checkout Building]] and the [[Space Station Processing Facility]] (SSPF) at the [[Kennedy Space Center]] in Florida.<ref name="nasa-20160219">{{Cite web|date=19 February 2016|editor-last=Harbaugh|editor-first=Jennifer|title=Manufacturing Key Parts of the International Space Station: Unity and Destiny|url=https://www.nasa.gov/centers/marshall/history/stations/images/manufacturing-key-parts-of-ISS-unity-and-destiny|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231124184657/https://www.nasa.gov/image-article/manufacturing-key-parts-of-international-space-station-unity-destiny/|archive-date=24 November 2023|access-date=15 February 2019|publisher=[[NASA]]}}</ref>

The US Orbital Segment also hosts the [[Columbus (ISS module)|''Columbus'']] module contributed by the [[European Space Agency]] and built in Germany, the [[Kibō (ISS module)|''Kibō'']] module contributed by [[JAXA|Japan]] and built at the [[Tsukuba Space Center]] and the [[Institute of Space and Astronautical Science]], along with the [[Canadarm2]] and [[Dextre]], a joint Canadian-U.S. endeavor. All of these components were shipped to the SSPF for launch processing.<ref name=":4" /><ref name="nasa-img-ksc-08pd0991">{{Cite web|last=Shiflett|first=Kim|date=22 April 2008|title=KSC-08pd0991|url=https://images.nasa.gov/details/KSC-08pd0991|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231124185310/https://images.nasa.gov/details/KSC-08pd0991|archive-date=24 November 2023|access-date=5 July 2019|website=NASA Image and Video Library|quote=In the Space Station Processing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, an overhead crane moves the Kibo Japanese Experiment Module – Pressurized Module toward the payload canister (lower right). The canister will deliver the module, part of the payload for space shuttle Discovery's STS-124 mission, to Launch Pad 39A. On the mission, the STS-124 crew will transport the Kibo module as well as the Japanese Remote Manipulator System to the International Space Station to complete the Kibo laboratory. The launch of Discovery is targeted for May 31.|location=Cape Canaveral, Florida}}</ref>
