What height does the International Space Station orbit around the Earth? The International Space Station is maintained in a near circular orbit with a minimum mean altitude of 278 km (173 mi) and a maximum of 460 km (286 mi). Atmospheric drag graduâ¦ally slows the station down and it moves closer to earth. The station must be periodically re-boosted.
