The ISS is the largest space station in low Earth orbit and represents the longest human presence in space — over 20 years. It is largely used as a space environment lab where thousands of experiments in astronomy, physics and microbiology have been conducted over the past two decades. The module itself is made up of two parts: One is manufactured ...
The ISS exists in a state of free fall, creating the sensation of weightlessness or "microgravity," which refers to the fact that gravity aboard is never exactly zero. Everything with mass, like the Earth, the sun, the space station itself and the astronauts, exerts a gravitational pull. The station is able to stay in orbit because it circles the E...
The state of free fall differs from the state of gravity we experience on Earth. Strange things happen aboard the ISS — the water on astronauts’ toothbrushes forms bubbles, a sneeze can knock them back and a candle's flame appears perfectly round. Most of the science conducted aboard the station, which revolves around Earth 16 times a day, is focus...
