(Okay, we'll try to stop saying Benjamin.) For the results, Kayak looked at both domestic and international round-trip flights in economy class; evaluating search dates between July 1, 2016 and June 30, 2017 for travel dates in that same period. Of course, What are the cheapest days to fly? is a complicated question.
A Russian Soyuz capsule usually takes at least two days to rendezvous with the ISS, because of the carefully timed dance of manoeuvres that must take place for a spaceship to safely meet the orbiting laboratory. Using a new launch process, three astronauts have now made the trip in just under 6 hours.
The International Space Station usually takes around 90 minutes to orbit our planet, so if youâre really lucky you can get two, or maybe even three or four passes in an evening or morning. Not only can you see the ISS in the evening but you can also see it in the mornings as both the ISS and Sun are in the ideal position to illuminate the spacecraft at this time.
