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

ISS Passing the Moon Captured The International Space Station orbits Earth every 90 minutes at a speed of nearly 28,000 km/h. Sometimes, from the right place at the right time, it can be seen crossing in front of the Moon. Capturing this rare sight is like watching a human-made star glide across our natural satellite a breathtaking mix of science and mystery. 👀🌕 #space #SpaceX #NASA #fblifestyle | Cosmic Adventure
