Why is it less expensive to launch an interplanetary spacecraft from the International Space Station in earths orbit than from earth itself?
We've never made an interplanetary spacecraft, but those who argue that it would be best to start from high orbit (like at the international space station) argue that the amount of rocket fuel needed to leave the surface would be far greater if done all at once instead of in pieces. Rocket fuel is expensive.

How many people can travel on a spaceship?
The number of people who can travel on a spaceship varies depending on its size and design. Spacecraft like the International Space Station can accommodate six people, while larger spacecraft like SpaceX's Crew Dragon are designed for up to seven passengers. Future spacecraft aiming for interplanetary travel may accommodate larger crews.
How would astronauts get to the international space station?
Astronauts typically reach the International Space Station (ISS) by riding on a spacecraft, such as the Russian Soyuz or the SpaceX Crew Dragon. These spacecraft are launched from Earth atop rockets and dock with the ISS once in orbit. Astronauts then transfer from the spacecraft to the space station using the docking mechanisms.
Does the International Space Station have some type of motor?
The International Space Station (ISS) does not have engines for propulsion. It relies on periodic reboosts from visiting spacecraft to maintain its orbit.
What space station is the Canada arm on?
The Canada arm is located on the International Space Station (ISS). It is a robotic system used for various tasks, such as docking spacecraft and conducting maintenance operations outside the station.
How do astronauts get to the iss?
Astronauts typically travel to the International Space Station (ISS) using a spacecraft, such as the Russian Soyuz or American SpaceX Crew Dragon. These spacecraft launch from Earth and dock with the ISS, where astronauts then transfer from the spacecraft to the station.
Is it less expensive to launch an interplanetary spacecraft from the International Space Station in earth's orbit than from earth itself?
NO getting the equipment into space would cost much more than just launching them from earth. First you have to get it up to the space station then you have launch it.....what kinda question is this?

What is the purpose of spacecraft endeavor?
To deliver parts to the ISS(international space station).

What was the name of the biggest spacecraft?
The biggest (and heaviest) spacecraft ever built is the International Space Station, which is still not quite complete (July 2011).
What is the largest spacecraft in space?
the largest space craft will be kept in the International Space Station (ISS)

What Russian rocket transports people to the International Space Station?
Soyuz spacecraft are powered by Semyorka rockets.
How much is it to go to space?
Space tourism opportunities are limited and expensive, with only theRussian Space Agency providing transport. The price for a flight to the International Space Station aboard a Soyuz spacecraft is $20--28 million.

How do you get to the ISS?
Both American and Russian spacecraft are capable of flying to the International Space Station. This is how supplies and crew are transferred.
