A space station (or orbital station) is a spacecraft capable of supporting a crew, which is designed to remain in space (most commonly in low Earth orbit) for an extended period of time and for other spacecraft to dock.

When was The international Spacestation made?

The International Space Station (ISS) was made through a collaborative effort between 15 countries including the United States, Russia, Japan, Canada, and several European countries. Constructed in multiple stages, the first module of the ISS was launched in 1998, and it has been continuously inhabited since the year 2000.


Suppose you are an astronaut making a space walk outside your space station when your jet pack runs out of fuel How can you use your empty pack to get you back to the station?

You can use the empty jet pack as a sort of "push off" or thruster by pushing it away from you with your hands. By expelling the empty jet pack in the opposite direction you want to move, you can create a reaction force that propels you back towards the space station. This technique can help you navigate back to safety.


List two dangers astronauts face while working outside the spacestation?

Well first the equipment. If there is a failure in their suit for example, they may be dead within a second. Next is the station itself. If they are repairing something and they do one thing wrong, they might be an explosion.


Why can't you just throw spacestation trash into space?

The amount of space junk is insignificant in the vastness of space especially compared to the asteroids and rocks that are already out there. There should, however, be curbs on radioactive materials being sent out as they could, after vast periods of time, end up on another planet. Again we have to remember the vastness of space and the extremely remote chance of it happening but we should try to be ethical. The amount of rubbish dumped in the oceans is, however, probably more significant and the dumping of nuclear waste and decommissioned nuclear submarines is certainly a serious problem that world leaders hope won't affect them in their lifetime. But then who would pay hugely more tax to help people in a thousand years time?
