How do you raise the height of the space station without the shuttle?

I believe the space station is equipped with thrusters (small rocket engines), that can make corrections or altitude changes when necessary without the shuttle.


How can they work outside of the space station if it is traveling at 17500 mph?

Even though the space station is traveling at a speed of 17,500 miles per hour, all objects inside or attached to the space station are traveling in the same speed and direction. Relative to these objects, the space station will appear like it isn't moving at all. When an astronaut goes on an extra-vehicular activity (EVA) outside the space station, he will still be moving in the same speed and direction as the space station. Because of this, the space station will appear to be stationary to the astronaut (Unless the astronaut pushed against it, in which case the astronaut would drift away). In the event that an astronaut does accidentally push himself away from the space station, tethers and handrails allow the astronaut to pull himself back to safety.

What is the altitude of the International Space Station?

Average altitude is stated to be about 340km, though ISS loses about 100 meters daily due to atmospheric friction and it has to be boosted to higher orbit regularly.


Where is NASA space station?

NASA has not had its own space station since Skylab re-entered Earth's atmosphere in 1979. The International Space Station is a joint project between NASA, the European Space Agency, and the space agencies of Russia, Japan, Canada and Brazil. It orbits Earth at an altitude of about 220 miles, and completes 15.7 orbits per day.
