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.

What was the purpose of the International Space Station?
The International Space Station (ISS) was built to serve as a research laboratory in space. It allows astronauts to conduct experiments in a microgravity environment, study the effects of long-term space travel on the human body, and advance our understanding of space science and technology. Additionally, the ISS serves as a collaboration between multiple countries to foster international cooperation in space exploration.
How will be the value of g vary ar different distances from the hub of a rotating space station?
The value of gravitational acceleration, g, will decrease as you move farther away from the hub of a rotating space station due to the centrifugal force generated by the rotation. At rotation speeds where the centrifugal force and gravitational force balance, you will experience a simulated gravity equal to g, but this balance point will vary depending on the rotation speed and distance from the hub.
What is space lab?
It is a laboratory in space. Earth has many of them orbiting it. The International Space Station (ISS) has several labs dedicated to research of space, the sun, plants and animals' reaction to space and new materials invented in zero g.
An astronaut inside a small space ship orbiting around the earth cannot detect gravity.If the space station orbiting around the earth has a large size can he hope to detect gravity?
If the size of the space station is large enough, then the astronaut will detect the change in Earth's gravity (g).
How many g's does the space shuttle experience during take off?
There is a maximum of 3 G's during the shuttle launch.

How many g's do ypu experience in the center of a space station?
The most meaningful answer is zero G. You, the space-station and everything in it are in free-fall towards Earth. All are 'weightless' (but not massless).
Is it possible to live with no gravity?
Folk on the International Space Station live in a zero G environment, and suffer from muscle and bone wastage as a result, in spite of keeping up an exercise regime.

Do potatoes grow in space?
Many types of plants have been germinated in space aboard the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station. I was unable to find any information on anyone attempting to grow pumpkins to fruition, but it is theoretically possible, as long as you can account for providing water and nutrients in a zero-g environment, and can provide an adequate light source.

What essential needs for survival must be met to colonize the moon?
The colony must provide everything that an orbiting Space Station must provide, except that the special toilets needed for Zero-G on the Space Station should not be necessary and more normal toilets could be used.
What is the value of 1T in guass?
1 tesla (T) is equal to 10,000 gauss (G). Therefore, the value of 1T in gauss is 10,000 G. This relationship is derived from the definition of the tesla, which is a unit of magnetic flux density in the International System of Units (SI).
What is the value of g in space?
G usually stands for the gravitational constant, wich is rounded to 9.8 for the whole surface of the earth. The second decimal is used for cases that need greater accuracy and is dependant on the location you are at. For example, Scandinavia uses 9.82 as the gravitational constant.
