International Space Station



The atmosphere on board the ISS is maintained to have a composition similar to that of the Earth's atmosphere.[73] Normal air pressure on the Space Station is 101.3 kPa (14.7 psi), the same as at sea level on Earth. This does not match the atmosphere on the shuttle, so adjustments are performed during visits.[74]
