Why is the International Space Station in Low Earth Orbit?
I think the LEO (Low Earth Orbit) is economical than higher Earth Orbit for the ISS. The rocket is able to send heavier spacecraft to LEO. But spacecraft in LEO is sinking because of air drag. The ISS has to boost the orbit from time to time (for example several weeks ). The air drag is smaller in higher Earth Orbit.
Where did Columbia orbit in space?
The spaceshuttle Columbia was orbiting the earth in a low earth orbit. Because its mission was not to the International Space Station (Columbia never went to the ISS on a docking mission) it was lower than most, which would have excluded a rescue scenario involving the ISS. Columbia did not have sufficient fuel to boost to the height of the ISS.
Where was the iss launchened?
The International Space Station was assembled in orbit; it is much too large to have been launched as a single unit. Most of the component modules of the ISS were carried into orbit by one of the space shuttles, which always launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida.
