Results of the data analysis on increments' programs implementation of the International space station utilization during its manned flight within 2001-2007 are presented. Changes of weight of various research directions from expedition to expedition which can be interpreted as evolutionary steps, reflecting changes of priorities actually in the program of the ISS utilization, as well as dependence of this program on current needs of the Earth's science and technology, and the difficulties arising during completion of the station construction are revealed. Statistics of research programs performance in the course of each expedition, such as quantity of the executed experiments on each of research directions, mass of the scientific equipment involved in them, crewtime used for the experiments are analyzed. The analysis is carried out with bringing the data on implementation of all International Partners' research programs; however the basic attention is given researches on the Russian segment. By results of the analysis tendencies of research priorities change on the ISS are traced and their most currently important directions come to light.
