Building Strategies and Wonder Information
World Wonder: International Space Station
Tech Required: Satellites
Production Cost: Varies
What it Does: +1 Production from Scientists and +1 Science from Engineer Specialists. Great Scientists will give +33% more Research when used to Discover Technology.
Strategies
This Wonder is unique in that it will not appear in the list when you've finished researching Satellites. You must first pass a resolution in the World Congress to start the project. Once initiated, the Civ that puts the most production in will get the Wonder, while 2nd and 3rd place will get a Free Great Scientist and a one-time research boost, respectively. You'll get all 3 if you take first, while the others get the lesser rewards.
The ISS comes very late in the game but if you push to get the Satellite Technology to also build Hubble (which you have time to do while waiting on the Congress), then save the 2 free Great Scientists for after you complete the project to get even more Research beakers out of them. It's worth putting all your Cities on this project, for the sooner it's finished, the sooner you get the bonus and it is a hefty one. That would be a total of three great scientists you could use just after, which is enough to get a couple technologies toward your Science Win.
