Can you believe that we have a state-of-the-art laboratory in space?
1. Where is the International Space Station? Everywhere!
But there isn’t a single ISS location because the station is orbiting Earth at an average speed of 17,300 mph . That velocity is pretty common for objects in the low Earth orbit. In the case of the International Space Station, such a speed allows it to make a complete orbit around the world in around 90 minutes, 16 times per day.
The exact International Space Station's location at a given time can be tracked through NASA’s ISS live stream.The International Space Station is about 357 feet long and 240 feet wide —pretty much the size of a standard soccer field.But it wasn't always like this. The International Space Station is made up of 16 pressurized modules that were assembled at different times.
