The International Space Station is the most obvious collaborative space effort

NASA and space programs for other countries have been collaborating on plenty of projects to develop new technology and get clearer glimpses of what's really going on beyond our planet.

Some of these collaborations are already up and running, while others are just launching, but they show what can be accomplished when countries and international companies work together.

NASA established the Artemis Accords , which are non-binding principles to aimed at promoting civil engagements in space.

The Rosalind Franklin rover could determine any obstacles for humans landing on Mars and better understanding overall habitability.

The James Webb Space Telescope has uncovered an exoplanet with life-sustaining properties, namely having a hydrogen-rich atmosphere as well as water beneath the surface.

The first international partnership to venture into space was the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project in 1975 .

ESA 's Solar Orbiter has made incredible progress in sending scientists some of the clearest images of the Sun ever taken.

The project is expected to last until at least 2027 , but the orbiter could easily continue providing valuable data into the 2030s .

Many countries have come together to support the Atacama Large Millimeter /submillimeter Array (ALMA), located in northern Chile .
