La ISS, visibile a occhio nudo da terra, è estesa quanto un campo da calcio. Pesa 450 tonnellate di peso e misura 73 metri per 109.

What is the speed of ISS?

• ISS may be observed with a naked eye, moving at low Earth orbit with an altitude between 330 km and 435 km, orbital inclination of ∠51.65° and an average orbital speed of 27 600 km/h ( 17 100 mph ). Every day the space station loses about 100 m of its altitude because of atmospheric resistance, that is why orbital corrections are made often.

What is the history of the International Space Station (ISS)?

• The ISS programme evolved from the Space Station Freedom, an American proposal which was conceived in 1984 to construct a permanently manned Earth-orbiting station, and the contemporaneous Soviet/Russian Mir-2 proposal from 1976 with similar aims.

Why doesn't the ISS have a higher altitude for maintenance?

• There is an optimal altitude for maintenance, which would actually be a bit higher than it is, because the ISS has to actively maintain its altitude by thrusting on a regular basis, while if it was higher that wouldn't be the case. Orbital debris is the primary limiting factor to raising the altitude higher.
