How long does it take to get to the ISS?
Depending on the exact geometry of the Shuttle's orbit when it launches, it takes about two days for the Shuttle to reach the ISS. Read More
How many miles is one orbit for the ISS?
What altitude does the ISS orbit the earth?
This is because of the Gravitational pull of the earth. Read More
Where did Columbia orbit in space?
The spaceshuttle Columbia was orbiting the earth in a low earth orbit. Because its mission was not to the International Space Station (Columbia never went to the ISS on a docking mission) it was lower than most, which would have excluded a rescue scenario involving the ISS. Columbia did not have sufficient fuel to boost to the height of the ISS. Read More
How does a space shuttle escape the Earth's orbit?
The shuttle never leaves Earth orbit, it simply goes into orbit and then returns. Moving to a higher orbit requires additional speed and manuevering, as when visiting the ISS. Read More
Where was the iss launchened?
The International Space Station was assembled in orbit; it is much too large to have been launched as a single unit. Most of the component modules of the ISS were carried into orbit by one of the space shuttles, which always launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida. Read More
How was the iss built?
The ISS was built by placing several modules into LEO (Low Earth Orbit) by member countries - US, Russia, Japan, and 10 European Countries (as ESA). These modules were assembled in space to realise the ISS. No rocket would have been able to transport that mass of payload at once into orbit. Modules are still being added until its final completion in 2010. Read More
Is the ISS a geostationary orbit or a polar orbit?
Neither. A polar orbit means that the station orbits at an inclination of about 90 degrees North (or South). This can occur at any reasonable altitude (apogee or perigee), typically around 250 and 350 miles. A geostationary orbit MUST have an inclination of 0 degrees--above the equator; AND have an apogee/perigee between 22,000--23,000 miles. The ISS was built and intended to be visited by the Space Shuttle. The Space Shuttle was incapable of orbiting higher… Read More
What propells the iss?
Nothing really. It is in orbit around Earth, so it doesn't need anything to propel it. Read More
How often does iss orbit the earth?
The International Space Station orbits the earth every 91 minutes. Read More
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. Read More

When did the iss take off from earth?
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. Read More
Why is the International Space Station in Low Earth Orbit?
I think the LEO (Low Earth Orbit) is economical than higher Earth Orbit for the ISS. The rocket is able to send heavier spacecraft to LEO. But spacecraft in LEO is sinking because of air drag. The ISS has to boost the orbit from time to time (for example several weeks ). The air drag is smaller in higher Earth Orbit. Read More
Which orbits the earth space shuttle or space station?
Well both do...the shuttles go in to orbit and return (at least they used to when NASA was still flying them), the ISS is left in orbit Read More
What layer of the atmosphere do space shuttles orbit in?
The Shuttle and the ISS orbit in the thermosphere or ionosphere (I think both terms are correct, not sure but I've heard both). This layer starts at 85km and goes up to 600km, after which is the exosphere. 'Space' technically starts at 100km. The ISS orbits around 350km, and obviously so does the Shuttle when it is docked, although when it first gets in to orbit the Shuttle is only at about 150km and speeds… Read More
How long will the international space station remain in orbit?
The ISS was planned to be decommissioned, de-orbited and destroyed in 2016. Now, it's quite possible that the ISS decommissioning date will be stretched until 2020 or beyond. Read More

How far above the earth does the spacestation orbit?
The ISS orbits at an altitude of 400 km (250 miles) above Earth. Read More
How does the ISS stay in space?
Earth's gravity is keeping it in orbit, just as it keeps the moon in orbit. The forward motion of the ISS (as with any other satellite) keeps it moving around the Earth instead of falling. There is very little atmospheric friction in orbit, and an occasional small boost is all that is needed to maintain its position. If it were left unattended for several years, its orbit would eventually 'decay' (lower) and it would fall… Read More
How long does it take to orbit around earth in space?
Orbital times vary as a function of the height of the orbiting vehicle or object. The higher its altitude, the longer it takes to make an orbit. The ISS and space shuttle are in low earth orbit and take approximately ninety minutes to complete one orbit. Read More
How far ISS from earth?
Depending on where the station is in its elliptical orbit around earth, it is between 190 and 192 nautical miles from earth. Read More
How old is International Space Station?
On-orbit construction of the station began in 1998 so currently ISS is 12 years old. Read More
Why is Hubble space telescope orbiting earth faster than Space Station?
It doesn't orbit earth faster. The ISS is in a lower orbit with a period of 91 minutes compared to the Hubble's orbital period of 96-97 minutes. Orbital periods generally increase with orbit radius and speed in the orbit decreases with increasing orbit radius. Read More
How many miles is the international space station?
The ISS is in an orbit between 278 km (173 mi) and 460 km (286 mi). Read More
Why does the ISS orbit waiver North and South so much?
The ISS occupies a roughly circular orbit around the earth, in a plane which intersects the Earth's center of mass. Where this plane would intersect the Earth's surface, if you were to draw it on a map would look like a sine wave whose amplitude or height would vary depending on the angle at which the orbit crosses the equator (the orbit's equatorial inclination). If the orbit were nearly equatorial, this line would have a… Read More
How many times will the ISS orbit the earth in one day?
The International Space Station will complete around 15.7 orbits of Earth on one day. Read More
If you can see the International Space Station on one orbit why can't you see it on the next one 90 minutes later?
The earth is rotating under the space station's orbit, at roughly 1000 mph (at the equator). In 90 minutes, when the ISS is in the same spot in its orbit, you will have moved about 1500 miles westward. Read More
How long does it take a astronaut to travel around the earth?
It depends on the given orbit, but most astronauts would be on near earth orbit vehicles like the International Space Station (ISS). This orbits the earth once every 91 minutes. Read More
How long has international space station been in orbit?
The International Space Station (ISS), launched in 1998, has been orbiting Earth for approximately 12 years. Read More
Earth's speed of orbit vs space station orbit?
The International Space Station is in a 'low Earth orbit' about 180 miles up. It takes about 90 minutes, so the ISS orbits at about 18,000 miles per hour. The Earth's orbit around the Sun varies a little because it is an elliptical orbit, not perfectly circular. But on average, the Earth is going about 67,000 miles per hour in its orbit around the Sun. Read More
How many days does it take to orbit the earth?
It took the first man in space, Yuri Gagarin, 90 minutes to complete an orbit. That is 1/16th of a single day. The space shuttle and the ISS take the same amount of time to orbit the earth. It takes the moon around 27 days to complete an orbit of earth. So to answer your question, it varies and/or depends. Read More
What are space shuttle used for?
The space shuttle is used to repair damaged satellites, take supplies to the International Space Station (ISS), and put new satellites in orbit. Read More
Where in space do astronauts go today?
The only place to go in space today is the International Space Station (ISS) which is in Low Earth Orbit (about 200 miles up). Read More
How many days does it tack to orbit the Earth?
The ISS orbits the Earth in about 90 minutes. Some satellites are in geostationary orbit, orbiting in exactly one day. The Moon orbits (moves around) the Earth in about 28 days! Read More
How far is the space station from the moon?
The distance from Earth to the Internatonal Space Station (ISS) is only a tiny fraction of the distance from Earth to Moon. The ISS is maintained at an orbit with a minimum altitude of 278 km to a maximum of 460 km. The distance from the Earth to the Moon ranges from 356,400 km to 406,700 km. Read More
What is the speed of the ISS?
The average speed of the International Space Station is 17,221 miles per hour. It completes an orbit every 91.48 minutes at an average altitude of 222.3 miles. Read More
What is the altitude of the International Space Station?
Average altitude is stated to be about 340km, though ISS loses about 100 meters daily due to atmospheric friction and it has to be boosted to higher orbit regularly. Read More
How fast does the ISS orbit earth?
every 92. mins. 92 mins is the time it takes to complete one full orbit. The Orbital speed is calculated using the ISS's centripetal acceleration. The ISS orbits earth at approx. 400 km about the surface of the earth. at a radius of approx. 6.771x10^6 meters. The force the ISS experiences at that altitude is approx. 8.69 m/s^2 (a=GM/r^2), about 12% less force than 9.8m/s^2 experienced on the earths surface. Not too much difference; the… Read More
How long does it take to get to the International Space Station?
The shuttle does not immediately go to the ISS, but 'parks' in earth orbit for a time during which the shuttle is checked for damage and equipment is also tested and organized. They gradually catch up with the ISS in a complex process of orbital mechanics. The docking occurs approximately two days after launch. Read More
Why was the iss not launched as a complete satellite?
No nation on earth has ever built a rocket launch vehicle with the energy and cargo space that would have been needed to put that much payload in orbit. Read More
