Space Station Answer from Saiyanisland.com
The International Space Station normally has a crew of three or four, and while they rotate, most astronauts do not get to live on the space station. As of Feb. 2010 the number is now up to 6.
If they are in the atmosphere (low earth orbit), satellites are in the ionosphere. If they are in higher orbits, satellites are considered to be outside the atmosphere.
False. The astronaut will stay in orbit with the space station on less some force acts on him or her.
Yes, they are. Specifically the International Space Station (or ISS, but really any space station can conduct an experiment. Hope this helped! :)
Thermosphere.
Space shuttles travel in the thermosphere, which is the second highest layer of the Earth's atmosphere. This layer extends from about 80 km to 550 km above the Earth's surface and is where the International Space Station orbits.
The thermosphere is the hottest layer in Earth's atmosphere, reaching temperatures as high as 2,500 degrees Celsius. It is located above the mesosphere and is where the International Space Station orbits.
Astronauts work in space, which is beyond Earth's atmosphere. There is no fixed layer of the atmosphere where astronauts work. They operate in space stations or spacecraft outside of the Earth's atmosphere where they experience microgravity.
The atmosphere of the space station is the same as on Earth, 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen.
It's not in the atmosphere.
The layer of the atmosphere that is considered outer space is called the exosphere. This is the uppermost layer of the atmosphere, where the air is extremely thin and gradually transitions into the vacuum of space.
The atmospheric layer that extends to space is the exosphere. This is the outermost layer of Earth's atmosphere, where the atmosphere gradually thins out and merges with outer space.
The layer of the atmosphere that releases particles of air into space is the exosphere.
The last layer of the atmosphere before entering space is called the exosphere. It is the outermost layer where the atmosphere gradually transitions into the vacuum of space.
The International Space Station (ISS) orbits within the thermosphere layer of the Earth's atmosphere. The ISS orbits at an average altitude of about 420 kilometers (260 miles) above the Earth's surface, within the thermosphere where the auroras occur and temperatures can reach thousands of degrees Celsius.
The layer of the atmosphere that merges into outer space is the exosphere. This is the outermost layer of the Earth's atmosphere where the air is very thin and gradually blends into the vacuum of space.
