How often are astronauts on the International Space Station?
15
How often do astronauts fly into space?
Astronauts currently work in six month shifts on the international space station. A single astronaut might fly only once in his career. Others, however, have flown as many as five or six times! (Astronaut training is expensive.)
Why are satellites not launched directly into space?
Once in space, most satellites obtain their power from the Sun using solar panels. Satellites travelling deep into space often carry additional nuclear power supplies.
How much gunpowder does it take to fuel a rocket?
A rocket that's part of a pyrotechnic display out over the harbor on the 4th of July, that goes up a few hundred feet and then explodes and makes everybody go "ooooh", does its job on one or two ounces of gunpowder. A rocket that's built to lift a package of instruments into the stratosphere, or people and supplies to the International Space Station, is fueled with stuff that's much stronger than gunpowder -- often thermite or hydrazine.
How often do they change the crew members of the space station?
Depending on the time of day it can soley depend on weather, but mostly once or twice a day

What is the goal of international space station?
The goal of international space station is to advance mankind's understanding of our world, its place in our solar system, and what piece of the jigsaw we are actually in, out there in deep space. The key term is 'International' because exploring space is very, very expensive. Also, nations working together (a normal thing in the scientific world, but often alien in the political world) means that mankind's knowledge would advance in leaps and bounds.Ever since primitive men (and women, of course) looked up and saw the stars in the night sky - we, throughout the ages have 'wondered' - and wonder is what life is all about!

Facts about the ISS?
The ISS is the "International Space Station" run by the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration, or "NASA". Primarily designed and constructed by the US, modules have been contributed by several additional nations and astronauts from many nations have visited the ISS. You can often see the ISS in the pre-dawn or early evening hours. See the "Flybys" link below.
Are Asians in the space station?
Yes, there are often people from Asia on it. In March 2014, Koichi Wakata became the first Japanese astronaut to be the commander of the space station.Yes, there are often people from Asia on it.

What are the names of two space stations?
The more popular of bunch would be the Mir ( Russia ) and Skylab ( USA ). They are currently working on ISS ( International Space Station ), which is a joint effort of the US, Russia, Japan, Canada, and other small countries.
What time does the ISS fly over Brierley Hill?
The International Space Station will not fly DIRECTLY over Brierley Hill, West Midlands, England at any time.It is very often visible, briefly many, many times a year.Try the NASA website for the times it may be visible in your location, they have excellent information.
How often does the ISS orbit the earth?
About every 90 minutes. It is easy to see passing overhead, if you know where to look. Use the "Satellite Overflights" link below, and enter your zip code (in the USA) or your nation, province and city to get a list of the overflights for the next week.
Does the international space station float?
We often use the casual term "floating in space", but that doesn't really describe what happens. When something floats, we think of an object of a certain density resting on the surface of a liquid with a high enough specific gravity to support the object. Think of a solid rubber ball floating in the water. The space station is above earth's atmosphere (perhaps there is an incredibly thin whisp of atmosphere that high, but if so it is negligible), and it remains in place by way of its stable orbit around the earth. It is definitely not supported in any way by any atmosphere with a different density or specific gravity. It is the gravity of earth, along with the velocity of the station and the specifics of its orbit that cause it to remain in safe orbit.
