What is iss?

ISS is an internationally developed research facility, which is being assembled in low Earth orbit.


What altitude does the ISS orbit the earth?

This is because of the Gravitational pull of the earth.


How far above earth is the International Space Station?

The International Space Station (ISS) orbits Earth at an average altitude of approximately 420 kilometers (260 miles). This distance can vary slightly due to the ISS constantly moving through space and being affected by gravitational forces. The ISS orbits Earth at a high speed, completing one orbit roughly every 90 minutes.


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.


How far in space do you travel to get to the space station?

Not very far. The International Space Station is in an orbit about 350 km (217 miles) above the earth's surface ... roughly the distance between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. The moon is about 1,100 times as far away, and the sun is about 425,000 times as far away.

Does the ISS orbit the Moon?

No, the International Space Station orbits around the Earth, not the Moon. The Moon is located about 384,400 km away from Earth, while the ISS orbits Earth at an average altitude of 420 km.
