What is the ISS orbit?
the iss orbit is an orbit which goes around the earth giving satalight signals
When was ISS launched?
Its on-orbit assembly began in 1998.
Where is the ISS located?
The ISS is in Low Earth Orbit and can be tracked by several sites on the internet. See related link
What is the distance of the iss orbit around earth?
40,000 miles
How does the ISS stay in space?
Earth's gravity is keeping it in orbit, just as it keeps the moon in orbit. The forward motion of the ISS (as with any other satellite) keeps it moving around the Earth instead of falling. There is very little atmospheric friction in orbit, and an occasional small boost is all that is needed to maintain its position. If it were left unattended for several years, its orbit would eventually "decay" (lower) and it would fall back to Earth as Skylab did in July, 1979.

What is iss?
ISS is an internationally developed research facility, which is being assembled in low Earth orbit.
Why did the U.S quit sending people to the moon after the Apollo program ended?
Lack of interest; also it costs far more to send people to the moon that to just orbit the Earth in ISS or space shuttle.
When was ISS launched?
Its on-orbit assembly began in 1998.
How many days does it tack to orbit the Earth?
The ISS orbits the Earth in about 90 minutes. Some satellites are in geostationary orbit, orbiting in exactly one day. The Moon orbits (moves around) the Earth in about 28 days!

Is the iss the largest man made thing in orbit?
Yes.

What altitude does the ISS orbit the earth?
This is because of the Gravitational pull of the earth.
How many miles is one orbit for the ISS?
Approx 26500 miles.
Does the moon orbit Earth or does the Earth orbit the moon?
The moon orbits Earth.
