How much does the International Space Station weigh?

Current mass, 277.6 metric tons (612,000 pounds). As new modules are added, it gains mass. By the time they finish it in 2010, it will weigh about 419.6 metric tons (925,000 pounds). I was about to reuse the word, "weigh", but technically, the ISS is weightless, as it is in free fall. However, its mass is about ten times as much as a loaded cement truck.


How much does food for space cost and weigh?

The cost of food for space missions can vary significantly, but estimates suggest it ranges from $10 to $100 per meal, depending on the type of food and packaging. For example, NASA's food for astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) can weigh around 1.5 to 2.5 kilograms (3 to 5.5 pounds) per day per astronaut. Overall, the total food supply for a long-duration mission can weigh several tons, significantly impacting launch costs and logistics.


About how much does a shuttle weigh at liftoff?

A typical space shuttle weighs around 4.5 million pounds (2,041 metric tons) at liftoff.


What is the weight of the iss?

The International Space Station (ISS) has a mass of approximately 420,000 kilograms. Weight is a force that depends on gravity, so the weight of the ISS would vary depending on its location in space.


How did the International Space Station get to space?

The space station, now weighing several tons, did not get up there in one launch. U.S. space shuttles and Russian, Canadian, and Japanese rockets brought pods. These smaller sections were peiced togather in orbit until you have what hangs over our heads today. -Jack
