Considerable controversy arose during the TransHab development effort due to delays and increased costs of the ISS program.

The mission was also referred to as ISS-1E by the ISS program.

The mission is also referred to as ISS-12A by the ISS program.

For each of 2005 and 2006 about $1.7 to 1.8 billion are allocated to the ISS program.

In 1998 the ISS programme began.

The Platform would consist of parts left over from the ISS program.

The ISS program is working to decrease in-flight dietary sodium intake to less than 3 grams per day.

The ISS program is expected to continue until at least 2020 but may be extended until 2028 or possibly beyond that.

Since the ISS program is likely to be extended to 2020, the station will likely require more spare supplies after the shuttle retires.

Russia's cancellation of the Research Module thus came to be of less consequence for the ISS program as a whole.
