Space stations are not important for scientific research. They are important for space exploration, that is in order to put humans on Mars. However, instruments like the Hubble space telescope are much more important for scientific research as they enable us to look into unknown regions of space. As such they improve our understanding of the universe. Of similar importance are particle accelerators like the LHC at CERN in Switzerland which probe matter at the smallest scale and thus help us understand fundamental questions of particle physics for example the origin of mass.

∙ 14y agoAll of the machinery, scientific equipment, and life-support equipment on the space station is powered by electricity gathered from the large external photovoltaic (solar) panels. The only thing that electricity still can't do is boost the station back up to the desired orbit every few weeks, after it has lost a few miles of altitide because of atmospheric drag. For that, they still have to use gas thrusters or small rocket motors.

What is space probe?
Space probe is a station.
Is there a secret space station?
Logically, if there was a secret space station, no one - we - wouldn't know about it.It's highly unlikely that there is one because all the necessary maintenance, rocket launches on a scale required for space station wouldn't go unnoticed. Also, space station would be clearly visible for amateur astronomers all over the world.

What is the main purpose of a space station?
A space station is the actual cabin of a spaceship. The main purpose of a space station is to provide astronauts with the ability to survive in outer space. These stations are equipped with the necessary tools and equipment to gather materials and to maintain contact with Earth.
What was the purpose of Chris Hadfield traveling to the Mir?
Chris Hadfield is on the International Space Station, not the Mir space station. Those two space stations are not the same. The reason he is there is to conduct space related research.
What is the purpose of spacecraft endeavor?
To deliver parts to the ISS(international space station).
What is the purpose of creating a space station?
