The International Space Stations engineers must
recreate an Earth-like environment in order to protect
the astronauts and permit them to complete their mission
in space. This link will offer you a gateway

As the International Space Station orbits the Earth,
it moves in an out of Earths shadow, absorbing
the suns light to generate valuable electrical
