Due to atmospheric drag it has boosters to maintain its altitude. Right now there are 9 astronauts on board, 2 more than planned, soon there will be 11 on board ☺️ - Credit Janosch Gaia | Wil Photography | Facebook

The International Space Station (ISS) orbits Earth in a low-Earth orbit (LEO) at an altitude of approximately 250 miles (402 kilometers). The ISS orbits Earth every 90 minutes, traveling at a speed of about 17,500 miles per hour. Features of the ISS orbit The ISS's orbital inclination is 51.6°, which allows it to fly over more than 90% of the inhabited Earth. The ISS's orbit gradually decays due to atmospheric drag and the Earth's gravitational pull. The ISS's orbit is periodically adjusted usin

How Does the ISS Travel Through Space? -The International Space Station (ISS) orbits Earth at an impressive speed of 28,000 km/h (17,500 mph), completing an entire orbit every 90 minutes! In comparison, Earth's surface rotates much slower—around 1,670 km/h (1,037 mph) at the equator. To help visualize this difference, we’ve created an animation that contrasts these two speeds, highlighting just how fast the ISS moves relative to the Earth's rotation. Additionally, we’ve mapped the ISS’s orbital
