The International Space Station, or ISS, has been assembled in orbit from parts built here on Earth. The first segments of the ISS were launched into space in 1998, with other parts being added by several Space Shuttle missions. The ISS is not yet complete, and more parts are still under construction.

What is the ISS orbit?
the iss orbit is an orbit which goes around the earth giving satalight signals
What altitude does the ISS orbit the earth?
This is because of the Gravitational pull of the earth.
Where is the ISS located?
The ISS is in Low Earth Orbit and can be tracked by several sites on the internet. See related link
From which part of the earth can you view the ISS?
well you cant becaus the iss is trying to become the best team ther is
How far above the earth is the iss?
244 MILES
What is iss?
ISS is an internationally developed research facility, which is being assembled in low Earth orbit.

Why doesn't the ISS travel in a straight line away from the Earth?
Earth's gravitational attraction keeps changing the direction of its movement continuously. This keeps orbits near Earth - such as the ISS - in an elliptical orbit.
Which is the earth's latest artificial satellite?
Presently it is the ISS
How far above the earth is the iss?
244 MILES
The interantional space station orbits earth at an altitude of 240. What is the distance fro the space station to earths horizon to the nearest mile?
This is hard to go through without a drawing, but let's try it: Draw the earth as a circle, with a center. Indicate the ISS with a dot. Draw a line from the earth's center to the ISS. Draw a line from the ISS tangent to the earth's surface. Draw the radius from the earth's center to the ISS horizon (the tangent point). A corollary in geometry tells us that a radius is perpendicular to a tangent. This is very helpful ... we know we have a right triangle. Hypotenuse is the line from the center to the ISS; its length is (earth radius)+(ISS altitude) = 3,970+240 = 4,210 miles. One leg = earth radius = 3,970 miles Other leg = distance from ISS to the horizon = sqrt[ hypotenuse2 - leg2 ] = sqrt(42102-39702) = 1,401 miles (rounded)
How long does it take too get the ISS?
It takes about 2 days for the Space Shuttle to reach the ISS.
What is the speed of the closest satellite from earth?
5800km /h and its the iss!
When will the iss stop and return to earth and stay here?
2026
