The International Space Station, or ISS, has been assembled in orbit from parts built here on Earth. The first segments of the ISS were launched into space in 1998, with other parts being added by several Space Shuttle missions. The ISS is not yet complete, and more parts are still under construction.
What else can I help you with?
What is the distance between the sun and the ISS?
Same as the distance between the Earth and Sun, that is 93 Million miles, give or take 278 km (173 mi) and 460 km (286 mi), the stationary orbit distance, and 12,756.32 km (7,926.41 mi), the diameter of the Earth.
How long dos it take to get back to Earth from the ISS?
It takes around 3-6 hours to return to Earth from the International Space Station (ISS). The journey involves a controlled descent in a Soyuz spacecraft, re-entering the Earth's atmosphere, and landing in a designated area in Kazakhstan.
What altitude does the ISS orbit the earth?
This is because of the Gravitational pull of the earth.
How far above the earth is the iss?
244 MILES
Is iss in outerspace?
Yes, the International Space Station (ISS) is in outer space. It orbits Earth at an altitude of about 420 kilometers (260 miles) above the Earth's surface.

What is iss?
ISS is an internationally developed research facility, which is being assembled in low Earth orbit.
How long does it take to get to the iss in light speed?
Like any other trip, that will depend on where you start out. If you're coming from the sun, it'll take you roughly 81/3 minutes. From anywhere on Earth, you can be there in 0.07 second or less, if you can handle the turns.
What altitude does the ISS orbit the earth?
This is because of the Gravitational pull of the earth.
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 above the earth is the iss?
244 MILES
Which is the earth's latest artificial satellite?
Presently it is the ISS
Is iss in outerspace?
Yes, the International Space Station (ISS) is in outer space. It orbits Earth at an altitude of about 420 kilometers (260 miles) above the Earth's surface.
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.
Why does the ISS look like a star?
Because what you are actually seeing is light from the Sun being reflected towards Earth.
What is the speed of the closest satellite from earth?
5800km /h and its the iss!
