A: The space station travels through space at 17,500 miles per hour at an altitude of about 220. miles. We orbit the Earth about once every 90 minutes. During the orbit of the Earth we are in. daylight for about 45 minutes and darkness for about 45 minutes. That means the sun will rise and. set 16 times a day. You can see the space station from where you live at certain times. Visit http://. www.jsc.nasa.gov/sightings/index.html to find out when you can see the ISS.
As of September 2014 two space stations are in orbit: the International Space Station, which is permanently manned, and China's Tiangong-1 (which successfully launched on September 29, 2011), which is unmanned most of the time.Previous stations include the Almaz and Salyut series, Skylab and most recently Mir.he core module of the International Space Station was launched in 1998. The ISS is divided into two main sections, the Russian orbital segment (ROS), and the United States operational segment (USOS). USOS modules were brought to the station by the Space Shuttle and manually attached to the ISS by crews during EVAs.
