Why does the space station in 2001 spin?

By spinning, the centripetal force creates artificial gravity on the space station.


Which force keeps the space station in orbit?

The force of gravity keeps the space station in orbit as well as inertia that keeps the space station moving in a straight line.


What is the value of 'g' where has International Space Station?

I'm not sure if it's ever measured, but it could be approximated by calculating the surface gravity of a spherical asteroid of equal mass and dimensions.Assuming the mass of the International Space Station is 450 000 kg (M) and its mean radius is about 30 meters (r) , the surface gravity would be g = MG/r2 = about 0,00000003337 m/s2 (about 30 nanometers/square second).For comparison, Earth's surface gravity is about 9.81 m/s2, so the gravity you would experience standing on the surface of the International Space Station is about 0.3 millionth of a percent compared to earth. It's certainly too small a gravity to hold you attached to the station if you were standing on it.If you're inside the space station, in the center of the station, there is zero gravity because you are in the center of gravity because the mass of the station is situated around you.Panu, M.Sc.


Does the earth gravity affect the astronaut in space?

If he is aboard something that's in Earth-orbit, like the International Space Station or the Space Shuttle, then Earth's gravity is what's keeping him in orbit.


How is gravity created on the international space station?

Gravity on the International Space Station is created by its continuous free fall towards Earth, which gives the sensation of weightlessness to the astronauts onboard. As the station orbits around the Earth, it falls towards the planet due to gravity but moves forward fast enough to miss it, essentially making it in a state of perpetual free fall.

How does gravity affect the space station?

The International space station is constantly falling towards Earth under the pull of Earth's gravity (Just like any other object - gravity does not stop when you reach space!). However the Station is moving very fast horizontally and, as the Earth is a sphere, this means that as it falls its path takes it round the Earth in a circle - it is in "orbit". This means that if you are in the space station you are falling as fast as gravity can pull you and therefore you do not feel the pull of gravity, making you weightless.


Does an passenger on the International space station experience Earth's gravity?

no.


What would increase the force of Earth's gravity on the space station?

the distance


Why doesn't a space station have any moons?

Compared to a planet a space station is tiny. While all objects with mass gave gravity, that of a space station is negligible, and certainly could not keep a moon in orbit.


What is the force that prevents objects on on or close to earth from getting lost in space such as the space station space shuttles or airplanes?

Gravity.


Why wasn't the International Space Station built with artificial gravity?

As of 2010, artificial gravity technology has not been invented.
