∙ 13y agoThe first space station to orbit the Earth was called Salyut 1, launched by the Soviet Union on April 19, 1971. It marked the beginning of long-duration human spaceflight missions.
what International Space Station is the first fully functioning space station to orbit the earth.
False.
The first space station established in orbit of the moon was called Skylab. It was launched by NASA in 1973 and operated until 1974.
The first space station placed into orbit around the Earth and subsequently linked up with by a team sent from Earth was the Soviet space station, Salyut 1. It was launched on April 19, 1971, and served as the precursor to the modular space stations that followed.
Actually, the International Space Station (ISS) is not the first space station to orbit Earth. Several others, such as the Soviet Union's Mir space station and the United States' Skylab, preceded it. The ISS is, however, the largest and most advanced space station ever built, representing an international collaboration among several countries.

It was locateed in low-earth-orbit.

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.

The Skylab Space Station was the Untied States first space station, and was operated and launched by NASA in 1973. The Skylab Space Station stayed in Earth's orbit from 1973 to 1979.

The centripetal force that keeps the International Space Station in orbit around the Earth is due to the gravitational pull between the Earth and the space station. This gravitational force causes the space station to constantly fall towards Earth, but its tangential velocity keeps it moving sideways, resulting in a stable orbit.
