ABOUT THE I.S.S.

The International Space Station is a large spacecraft in orbit around Earth. A lot of Astronots live in the ISS. The space station is also a very speical science laboratory. Several countries worked together to build and use the space station. It orbits Earth at an average altitude of approximately 250 miles. It travels at 17,500 mph. This means it orbits Earth every 90 minutes. NASA is using the space station to learn more about living in space. This will help us learn more about space and might allow us to explore more in space.

COOPERATION

the ISS is one of the most ambitious international collaborations ever attempted. The largest space station ever constructed, the ISS continues to be assembled in orbit. It has been visited by astronauts from 18 countries—and counting.

An international partnership of space agencies provides and operates the elements of the ISS.

The ISS has been the most politically complex space exploration program ever undertaken.

SOME DATA

The ISS travels at the speed of 17,500 mph and see 16 sunrises and 16 sunsets per day.

Time

The ISS is as big as a football field: 100 meters long and 80 meters wide. It weighs 455 tons (the weight of 45 cars!)

Question

How was the Iss Built

The International Space Station was taken into space piece-by-piece and gradually built in orbit using spacewalking astronauts and robotics. Most missions used NASA's space shuttle to carry up the heavier pieces, although some individual modules were launched on single-use rockets. The International Space Station (ISS) also took 10 years and more than 30 missions to assemble.

what peices is the ISS made of?

Titanium, Kevlar, and high-grade steel are common materials in the ISS. Engineers had to use these materials to make the structure lightweight yet strong and puncture-resistant. Because each of the aluminum-can shaped components of the Station has to be lifted into orbit, minimizing weight is crucial.

what is Titanium and Kevlar?

Ttanuim is a gray metel, #22 on peridic table and one of the most srong and light pure substance of earth
