It's average speed is 27,743.8 km/h.
A space station typically orbits Earth at an altitude of around 400 kilometers. It travels around the Earth at a speed of approximately 28,000 kilometers per hour, completing one orbit every 90 minutes.
A cosmonaut travels to space, typically aboard a spacecraft like the Russian Soyuz or the International Space Station. They undergo extensive training to live and work in microgravity and conduct scientific research while in orbit around the Earth.
It takes approximately 3 hours for a space shuttle to travel from the International Space Station (ISS) to Earth. The descent involves a controlled re-entry and landing process.
The space station currently orbiting Earth is called the International Space Station (ISS). It serves as a research facility for various countries and is inhabited by astronauts from around the world.
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.

It is possible to travel in space. The International Space Station currently orbits 250 miles above Earth and there are astronauts living there.

The space station is orbiting the earth. That means it is constantly falling, but falling AROUND the Earth. Satellites do the same thing.

For the same reason the moon, and all man-made satellites do - it's held in orbit by gravity !
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.

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.
There is currently no research laboratory permanently in orbit around Earth. The International Space Station (ISS) is a space station that orbits Earth and serves as a research laboratory, but it is not permanently stationed in one location.
The International Space Station is constantly circling the earth. It is in a state of freefall, meaning that it is literally "Falling" around the earth. Since the station falls at an angle relative to the ground, it will stay on a constant circular path around the earth, until some other force alters its path.
