Between July 2010 and June 2011, it was kept generally between 212 and 221 miles
from the surface.
At the beginning of July 2011, it was boosted to its highest orbit yet ... about 241 miles.
On average, the ISS (International Space Station), is about 199 to 215 miles above the surface of the Earth.
The International Space Station orbits Earth at an average altitude of about 420 kilometers, or roughly 260 miles above the surface.
The distance from the Earth to the Moon is greater than the distance from the Earth to the International Space Station.
The International Space Station orbits Earth at an average altitude of about 420 kilometers (260 miles). It is considered to be in low Earth orbit, allowing astronauts on board to conduct scientific research and observe our planet from a relatively close distance.
The International Space Station orbits at an average altitude of about 420 kilometers (260 miles) above Earth's surface.
The International Space Station orbits Earth at an average distance of about 250 miles (400 kilometers) from the Earth's surface. The Earth is approximately 93 million miles (150 million kilometers) away from the Sun. Therefore, the International Space Station is about 93 million miles (149.6 million kilometers) plus 250 miles (400 kilometers) away from the Sun.
The distance between Earth and the International Space Station (ISS) varies as it orbits the Earth at an average altitude of about 420 kilometers (260 miles). The distance can range from around 370 kilometers to 460 kilometers depending on the station's orbit.
The International Space Station orbits Earth at an average distance of about 420 kilometers. In comparison, Neptune, which is the eighth planet from the Sun, is approximately 4.3 billion kilometers away from Earth.
The International Space Station orbits Earth at an altitude of around 420 kilometers (261 miles) above the surface.
The International Space Station's altitude varies from 199 miles to 215 miles or 319.6 km to 346.9 km above the Earth's surface.
The International Space Station orbits at an average altitude of about 420 kilometers (260 miles) above the Earth's surface.
It decreases the amount of Russians on the Earth's surface.
