its gravitationally bound to the earth,i.e it orbits earth.just like the moon. it orbits once every 90mins or so
>
In a circle and unpowered
(At stable orbit) Gravity = Centripetal force
Essentially, for any given orbital radius, only one velocity will keep it in stable orbit.
1. Select orbit radius (r)
2. Calculate required velocity (v) from: v = square root (G * m) / r
(G = Newtons gravitational constant, m = earths mass)
3. Calculate (sidereal) orbit time from (2 * pi * r) / v
ISS, International Space Station i hope this your answer.
Internashinal space station
The International Space Station is commonly referred to as ISS.
The former name for the International Space Station (ISS) was Space Station Alpha.
A node at the ISS is a connecting module that serves as an interface between various components of the space station. It allows for the attachment of spacecraft, modules, and other elements, enabling astronauts to move between different parts of the ISS and facilitating the transfer of crew and supplies.

It is named the International Space Station or ISS.
ISS stands for the International Space Station
You could have ISS for the International Space Station. You could also have Mir, which was an old Russian space station.
All total Theres been three Mir, Skylab and the ISS. Mir and Skylab burned up so onlt the ISS is up there
The International Space Station (ISS) has been in space since November 20, 1998, which makes it over 20 years now.
Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavor have visited the ISS. Challenger (which was destroyed before the beginning of ISS construction) and Enterprise (which was a flight test vehicle and not space-worthy) have visited the International Space Station. Columbia was slated to visit the ISS on STS-118 but was destroyed on reentry and this mission was flown by Endeavour instead.
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.
