What is International Space Station used for?
The International Space Station is used as a science laboratory for conducting experiments in microgravity, as well as for testing technologies for long-duration space missions. It also serves as a platform for international cooperation in space exploration and a living space for astronauts to conduct research and maintain the station.
How long does it take the space station to orbit the earth?
About 90 minutes. There are lots of sites that can track it. See below for some of them.
Why can you see the space station at night?
You can see the space station at night because it reflects sunlight. When the sun shines on the space station, it illuminates its solar panels and other reflective surfaces, making it visible as a bright point moving across the night sky.
Where is the International Space Station?
The International Space Station is approximately 340 km above the earth and because it orbits the earth faster than we are turning its position constantly changes. To find where the station is at any given time, see the link below ( you need to have Java installed.)
What are the job on the International Space Station?
Jobs on the International Space Station (ISS) include conducting scientific experiments, maintaining the station's systems, performing spacewalks for repairs and maintenance, and communicating with mission control on Earth. Astronauts also participate in exercise routines to combat the effects of microgravity on the body.
Does the international space station see the earth's moon?
As it orbits the Earth there are times it can see the moon and there are times when it is on the opposite side of the Earth to the moon, so it can't see it.
What can you see at the international space station?
nothing

When can you see the space station in the sky?
You can never see the I.S.S. from Earth, only in space.
One time you could see the space station during orbit Yes light reflection Does this not always happen?
If it is dark enough and the International Space Station is high enough, you will clearly see it reflecting sunlight towards Earth. See the related question below.

Where can you see the International Space Station?
The International Space Station can be sighted when it flies over the region you are in. The website in related links below will tell you when the international space station can be observed in your region. It looks like a moving star, when you walk its like something out of the blue is above you.
How many times a day do astronauts see the sunrise from the international space station?
Astronauts aboard the International Space Station experience 16 sunrises and sunsets every 24 hours due to its orbit around Earth. This rapid cycle of day and night occurs because the station orbits Earth approximately once every 90 minutes.
Where and when can you see the International Space Station?
The International Space Station is visible from different locations on Earth at various times. You can check sighting opportunities in your area on websites like NASA's spot the station tool or apps like ISS Tracker. It appears as a fast-moving bright light in the sky and is best seen at dawn or dusk when the station is illuminated by the Sun but the observer is in darkness.
