International Space Station

Yes, there is gravity on the International Space Station (ISS), but it is not due to the station being in Earth's orbit. The sensation of weightlessness experienced by astronauts aboard the ISS is because they are in a state of constant free fall towards Earth, creating the effect of microgravity.

The International Space Station (ISS) is a habitable artificial satellite that orbits Earth. It serves as a space environment research laboratory where scientific research is conducted in astrobiology, astronomy, meteorology, physics, and other fields. The ISS is a collaborative project involving multiple countries and space agencies.

The first module of the space station, called Zarya, was launched in 1998 and was a joint project between Russia and the United States. It was developed by the Russian Space Agency and served as the foundation for the International Space Station.

The number of firetrucks at a fire station can vary depending on the size and needs of the community it serves. A typical fire station may have anywhere from 1 to 5 firetrucks.

I believe it is half a year from time of handover from one expedition commander to another. Perhaps this number changes slightly...depending on whether or not shuttle launches are on time.

another amazing fact

Valeri Polyakov currently holds the record for longest amount of time in space, which was accrued on the "Mir"- (a Russian space station that was retired in 2001)- He was in space for 437 days

Yes, it is true that an astronaut in space will float away without a tether or thrusters to hold her in place. In the microgravity environment of space, objects and people will continue in their current trajectory unless acted upon by an external force. The astronaut needs to be tethered to the space station or use thrusters in her space suit to prevent drifting away.

No, Venus is brighter in the night sky than the International Space Station. Venus is often referred to as the "evening star" or "morning star" due to its brightness, which is caused by its thick clouds reflecting a significant amount of sunlight.

the United States of America, Russia, Japan, Canada and eleven member states of the European Space Agency (Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom).

ISS in Roman numerals is represented as "ISS" since there is no single Roman numeral to represent the number 59.

They made the international space station, because astronauts in earth orbit, can do experiments and learn stuff, they could not do on the planet. They can study outer space more easily, when there are no clouds blocking the view. They can look down at the earth and study pollution and weather much better from outer space. A space station has more room than the 3rd stage of a Saturn V moon rocket that was used for the Skylab space station in 1973. Having people in orbit offers many opportunities that being earth bound does not.

The International Space Station is maintained in a near circular orbit with a minimum mean altitude of 278 km (173 mi) and a maximum of 460 km (286 mi). Atmospheric drag gradually slows the station down and it moves closer to earth. The station must be periodically re-boosted. This re-boost can be performed by the station's two main engines on the Zvezda service module, a docked Space Shuttle, a Progress resupply vessel, or by ESA's ATV.

On September 20, 2010, NASA reported that the ISS orbital numbers were:

Perigee 351 km (189 nmi) AMSL

Apogee 360 km (194 nmi) AMSL

Orbital inclination 51.64 degrees

Average speed 7,706.6 m/s (27,743.8 km/h, 17,239.2 mph)

Orbital period 91 minutes

Perigee is the orbit's lowest point and apogee is its highest point. AMSL stands for Above Mean Sea Level. nmi stands for Nautical Miles

Astronauts from various countries live and work onboard the International Space Station (ISS). The crew typically consists of six astronauts at a time, who stay on the ISS for missions that usually last about six months.

If we are to one day travel to the stars, we have to understand the effects of prolonged exposure to different conditions, so what they do is they perform all kinds of experiments in zero gravity:- how do insects behave, how do plants grow, will hydroponics work to supply air. This is better done close to home then to be half way to another planet.

We are a long way from Star Trek but we have to reach out.

On a side note I will put a link to show you what i mean about adapting to zero G its an interesting article and will answer more than i have. Its not just about spiders

If you mean which direction do I look to see the Space Station the answer is it depends. The Space Station is orbiting at 17,500 miles per hour so it's not going to appear stationary.

You cannot see the Space Station during the daytime because the sky is too bright, and you cannot see it in the middle of the night because it's too close to the Earth to catch any reflected light from the sun. Which leaves right before sunrise and right after sunset as the only viewing opportunities and of course it has to be in your area.

NASA has a website where you can findout what's visible from your location and when

The mass of the International Space Station is approximately 420,000 kilograms.

International space station is not flying, its orbiting.

The International Space Station (ISS) orbits Earth at an average altitude of about 420 kilometers (260 miles) above the planet's surface. The ISS travels at a speed of approximately 28,000 kilometers per hour (17,500 miles per hour) and completes an orbit around Earth roughly every 90 minutes.

The International Space Station (ISS) was launched into space in November 1998. It has since served as a research laboratory for various scientific experiments and as a living space for astronauts from around the world.

The International Space Station orbits the Earth at an average altitude of approximately 420 kilometers (260 miles). Its position changes constantly as it orbits the Earth approximately every 90 minutes. You can locate the current position of the ISS through various websites and tracking apps.

The International Space Station orbits the Earth at an average altitude of about 250 miles (400 kilometers) and travels approximately 17,500 miles (28,000 kilometers) per hour. It completes an orbit around the Earth roughly every 90 minutes.

Yes, astronauts aboard the space station have to adjust the clock because they experience 16 sunrises and sunsets each day due to the station's orbital path around the Earth. This means they follow a schedule based on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to maintain consistency with mission control and their activities.

The average number of people on the International Space Station (ISS) at any one time is typically six. This crew size allows for efficient operation of the station and ensures that there are enough resources for the astronauts onboard. However, the number can vary depending on crew rotations and mission objectives.

Sound needs a volume to travel in. Space happens to be a vacuum, so said volume is not there. Sound cannot travel in space because of this.

If sound cannot travel through space, it is not going to reach Earth.

So, no.

The price of a Filtrete water station can vary depending on the model and retailer. However, you can expect to pay around $30 to $70 for a basic pitcher-style water station and up to $150 for a more advanced system with additional features.

There are 15 countries involved in the International Space Station project. These countries are the United States, Russia, Canada, Japan, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
