What does the gravitational pull of the earth keep around it?
The moon, satellites, international space station, and everything else orbiting the earth.
Are there people in the space station orbiting the earth?
Yes there are people in space station orbiting earth.
What space station is orbiting earth?
The International Space Station
Country which launched first orbiting space station?
The first orbiting space station was Salyut 1, launched by the Soviet Union in 1971.
What is the name space station that is orbiting the earth now?
the International Space Station
What is the current space station orbiting the earth?
The International Space Station is the only space station currently in orbit.
How fast is the International Space Station flying now?
International space station is not flying, its orbiting.
Is the hubble space telescope a space station or a space shuttle?
Neither. The space station is an orbiting laboratory with living spaces. A shuttle takes astronauts to the space station and back to earth. The Hubble is an un-manned orbiting observatory.
How fast is the International Space Station flying right now?
International space station is not flying, its orbiting.
What is microgravity and what is its affect on humans?
Well basically, anything that has mass exerts a gravitational pull ony other masses. Therefore, when in space in a space station/ship, you are not actually experiencing weightlessness, but the gravitational effects of the ship are small enough as to not be noticable. This is called microgravity. As to its effects on humans, basically we experience muscle atrophy, or the wasting away of our muscles. The reason for this is that humans have evlolved in a gravitational environment where our muscles have developed due to the resistance of gravity. Therefor when spending long periods in space, we lose this conditioning. A classic image from the MIR space station was of the Russian cosmonaut being lifted out of his reentry capsule because his muscles had wasted to the point that he couldn't stand in (resist) Earths gravity.
What is orbiting the earth and taking pictures of it?
A space station and many satellites.
What is the largest artificial satillite orbiting earth?
It is the International Space Station.
