ISS crew Earth observations,
The International Space Station is a large spacecraft in orbit around Earth that serves as a home where crews of astronauts and cosmonauts live.
The space station is also a unique science laboratory.
It orbits Earth at an average altitude of 220 miles and it travels at 17,500 mph, orbiting Earth every 90 minutes.
The space station has the volume of a five-bedroom house or two Boeing 747 jetliners.
It is able to support a crew of six people, plus visitors.
On Earth, the space station would weigh almost a million pounds.
Measured from the edges of its solar arrays, the station covers the area of a football field including the end zones.
