Space shuttles were vehicles by which people traveled into space, while the International Space Station (ISS) is a very large structure that stays in space for extended periods of time and orbits the earth. A space shuttle was a type of spacecraft that was part of a space program that ran from 1981 to 2011. A rocket carried the space shuttle out of the earth's atmosphere. The shuttle carried people, satellites and parts for the International Space Station from Earth into space. A space shuttle typically orbited Earth for one or two weeks before coming back to Earth and landing like an airplane.
The International Space Station is a huge structure that stays in space, orbiting Earth once every 90 minutes. It is a place for people to live for long periods of time to work and study. The ISS is a joint effort among many countries, with the first parts launched in 1998. It is made of many different modules that were assembled in space, including living quarters and laboratories. People are able to live and work in the ISS for extended periods of time.
