What space station is still in orbit?
The International Space Station is still in orbit, and is still being constructed.
Which force keeps the space station in orbit?
The force of gravity keeps the space station in orbit as well as inertia that keeps the space station moving in a straight line.

How do you tie up spaceship in space?
Well usually gravity holds it down such as orbit, or it just stays in space. In space there are not any forces acting then it will not move if the rocket is not travelling.
What is the current space station orbiting the earth?
The International Space Station is the only space station currently in orbit.
What was the name of the first space station to orbit the earth?
The first space station created only to orbit the earth was called plain old, 'Space Shuttle.'
The International Space Station is the first fully functioning space station to orbit the earth?
false
Is the space station beyond the gravitational pull of the earth?
No. The space station is in a stable orbit around the earth. Eventually, the orbit will decay and the station will begin falling toward the earth if steps are not taken to reestablish the stable orbit.
How fast does the space station fly?
The space station does NOT fly. IT is in space and there is no are for it to fly in. The space station is in Earth Orbit moving at 7.66 kilometres per second.
