International Space Station

RKA could stand for "Registered Kinesiologist Association" which is an organization representing kinesiologists. It could also refer to "Regiao K administrativo," which is administrative region K in Brazil.

The International Space Station (ISS) is equipped with various scientific equipment for research like microgravity experiments, Earth observation instruments, and life support systems for crew sustenance. It also contains living quarters, exercise equipment, communication systems, and robotic arms for external maintenance tasks.

A day on the International Space Station (ISS) lasts approximately 90 minutes, as the ISS orbits the Earth every 90 minutes. This means that astronauts onboard the ISS experience 16 sunrises and sunsets every 24-hour period.

The ISS carries MANY different kinds of equipment from plants, to space food, experiental equipment, spae suits, and they even have a cumputer that tells ET'S what planet we are from, what animals live on earth , currency, country's, and how humans reproduce.

The primary power source is solar power from the large arrays connected to the station. There are also two backup generators and smaller fuel cells for various experiments.

Space stations serve as platforms for conducting scientific research in microgravity environments, testing technologies for future space exploration, and providing a base for long-duration human spaceflight missions. They also serve as international collaboration platforms, bringing together astronauts and researchers from different countries to work together in space.

Yes, up to seven at a time. These are usually from multiple countries worldwide (hence the International space station) and the current (2/24/13) crew is from the US, Russia, and Canada.

Technically it could reverse its orbit but it would take more powerful thruster units and a vast amount of fuel, there are also various problems of orbital mechanics to be overcome.

For all practical purposes then, no it cannot.

The space station carries astronauts, equipment, supplies, and scientific experiments for research in space. It serves as a laboratory for studying the effects of long-duration space travel on the human body and for conducting experiments in various fields of science.

A space station typically carries equipment such as solar panels for energy generation, communication systems for contacting Earth, life support systems for astronauts, scientific experiments for research, docking ports for spacecraft, and spacewalk tools for maintenance outside the station.

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.

The International Space Station (ISS) was launched in 1998.

Astronauts on the International Space Station clean themselves using no-rinse body wipes, liquid soap, and waterless shampoo. They use these products to wipe themselves down and then use a towel to absorb the excess moisture. Water is a limited resource on the ISS, so they have to be efficient with their cleaning routines.

If there is, it wasn't built by human beings from the planet Earth, and none

of our remote sensing robot machines that we've sent to Mars has seen it.

The first Canadian trained as a mission specialist for the International Space Station was astronaut Chris Hadfield. He flew on two Space Shuttle missions to the ISS, STS-74 in 1995 and STS-100 in 2001. Hadfield later became the first Canadian to command the ISS in 2013.

Skylab, which was a response to Salyut 1( a Soviet space station) was the first US space station, launched in the May of 1973

Astronauts on the International Space Station conduct scientific experiments, perform maintenance tasks on the station, exercise to maintain their health, communicate with mission control, and document their experience through photography and video. They also participate in educational outreach activities.

The International Space Station involves 15 nations: United States, Russia, Canada, Japan, Brazil, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland. These countries contribute financially, technologically, and with astronauts to support the station's operations.

Canada has contributed the robotic Canadarm2 and Dextre manipulator systems to the International Space Station (ISS). These systems are key components for the ISS assembly and maintenance tasks. Canada also supplied astronauts, such as Chris Hadfield, who have conducted research and experiments while on the ISS.

The first people to go on the International Space Station were Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin and American astronaut William Shepherd in November 2000. They were part of Expedition 1, the first long-duration mission to the ISS.

You would accelerate towards Earth at an initial rate of 9.8 m/s^2, which is the acceleration due to gravity near the Earth's surface. Your acceleration would decrease as you got closer to the Earth due to air resistance and terminal velocity being reached.

The International Space Station took approximately 10 years to build, starting in 1998 and reaching completion in 2011. It involved contributions from multiple countries and required more than 40 missions to assemble the various modules and components in space.

The former name for the International Space Station (ISS) was Space Station Alpha.

Some satellites and robots that have explored Saturn include Cassini, Huygens, and Voyager 1 and 2. Cassini was a spacecraft that studied Saturn and its moons for over a decade, while Huygens was a probe that landed on Saturn's largest moon, Titan. Voyager 1 and 2 also passed by Saturn as part of their missions to explore the outer planets of our solar system.

The International Space Station was designed to have multiple docking ports and adapters so that other space stations or spacecraft could be attached to it. This design allowed for flexibility in conducting joint missions and assembly in space.
