SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -A space station is a spacecraft capable of supporting a human crew in orbit for an extended period of time and is therefore a type of space habitat. It lacks major propulsion or landing systems. An orbital station or an orbital space station is an artificial satellite (i.e., a type of orbital spaceflight).

Detailed explanation-2: -The International Space Station is a large spacecraft in orbit around Earth. It serves as a home where crews of astronauts and cosmonauts live.

Detailed explanation-3: -A space station is a large artificial satellite on which people can live and work for extended periods of time. A space station provides a place where long-term observations and experiments can be carried out.

Detailed explanation-4: -The mission of the International Space Station is to enable long-term exploration of space and provide benefits to people on Earth. With six state-of-the-art laboratories, the Space Station will be the premiere research facility in space, four times larger and more capable than any previous space station.

Detailed explanation-5: -The largest artificial satellite is the International Space Station (ISS). The main part of this is as big as a large five-bedroom house, but including solar panels, it is as large as a rugby field.

Detailed explanation-6: -The International Space Station orbits Earth, at an average altitude of 248 miles (400 kilometers). It circles the globe every 90 minutes at a speed of about 17, 500 mph (28, 000 km/h). In one day, the station travels about the distance it would take to go from Earth to the moon and back.

Detailed explanation-7: -The space station has been continuously occupied since November 2000. An international crew of seven people live and work while traveling at a speed of five miles per second, orbiting Earth about every 90 minutes.
