Why is International space station being assembled instead of on earth?
The International Space Station (ISS) is being assembled in space rather than on Earth because it is a complex structure that needs to be launched into orbit. It is not possible to build it on Earth and then launch it into space in one piece due to its size and weight. Instead, it is being assembled piece by piece in space by multiple space agencies from different countries, using space shuttles and other spacecraft.
An astronaut inside a small space ship orbiting around the earth cannot detect gravity.If the space station orbiting around the earth has a large size can he hope to detect gravity?
If the size of the space station is large enough, then the astronaut will detect the change in Earth's gravity (g).
What is the International Space Stations size of orbit?
Because of the thin wisps of atmosphere at its altitude, the size of the ISS' orbit slowly decays, and the station is occasionally 're-boosted'. In January of this year, the station was given a boost to 358 kilometers from the earth's surface. By July, it had decayed to about 346 km. Two separate reboosts in July raised it to about 349 km.
How much people can a space station carry?
This is a very arbitrary question, as it depends on the size/capabilities of said station. The ISS can carry a crew of seven at a given time. However, a station COULD be constructed to carry a crew of indefinite size.
What is the maximum number of people who will crew the International Space Station?
Normally, the station has a crew of 6 people, or 3 in between crew rotations. The most people that have ever been aboard the ISS was 10, when the 7-man crew of STS-119 (Space Shuttle Discovery) was docked with the ISS, which had a crew of 3 aboard. Now that the huge Space Shuttle is discontinued, a maximum crew size of 6-8 aboard the ISS is more realistic.
Which is larger the meteor or a International Space Station?
Meteors come in a variety of sizes, so a comparison between the size of the International Space Station (which measures about 100 meters by 70 meters) and any meteor requires that the specific meteor be identified.

What will the size of the area of the space station be equal to when it is finished?
a football field
Why was the space station built in space and not earth?
The size it is way to big to be put together on earth and sent to space we do not have any way to get it to space.

How long will it takes to orbit the earth a hundred times?
That completely depends on the size of the satellite's orbit ... the larger the orbit, the longer each revolution takes. 100 revolutions take the International Space Station about 6.25 days, but take the moon about 7.5 years
An astrounaut inside a small space ship orbiting around the earth cannot detect gravity.Can a space station of much bigger size than the space ship hope to detect gravity?
The chances are pretty low because it doesn't matter on the size to detect gravity.
What is the MIR space station?
It was a Russian Space Station. It was decommissioned and de-orbited in 2001. A few Mir facts: * Mir (Мир) is Russian for peace or world * Mir was the first continuously staffed space station * It was in orbit for almost 15 years, occupied for 12 years and continuously manned for 10 years * The normal crew size was three, but it could accommodate six * Astronauts from 13 different station stayed at Mir
