If someone was to mark a map of the earth relating to the path of the ISS at 250 to 260 miles up, what path would the station follow? I saw where the station passed right over Hurricane Dorian a day or so ago. Is that the normal tracking for the station? Can the station’s path and altitude above Earth be adjusted? What is the difference between microgravity and zero gravity? #AskNASA
The ISS orbits over the Earth's surface generally from West to East, but its orbit is inclined at about 50° off the equator, so sometimes it's going NorthEast /, and sometimes SouthEast \. It takes about 90 minutes to do an orbit, so 16 orbits in 24 hours as the Earth rotates once underneath. Earth will rotate 22½° for each ISS orbit, about 1500 miles at the equator. ISS should pass within 600miles of eg Miami every 12 hours, once going NorthEast, and once going SouthEast. ~ ~ ~ At the ISS altitude, Earth's gravity is still about 90% as strong as at the surface. If you just went 250 miles up, you'd still back down again. You'd need to match the ISS speed of 17,500 mph for Earth's gravity to balance your speed trying to fling you out into space. Any slight imbalance is microgravity. Zero gravity would be like being somewhere in deep space between galaxies, where you weren't being pulled in any particular direction.
A chain with links is always interesting we use it to pull also the links push 🤷♂️😁👍

What is the advantage of using a truss system as opposed to using the Modules themselves as a structural segment?
Reminds me of a lamp I was messing around with today. Thanks!!! 😁

Nice vídeo !
Thanks !
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing NASA Johnson.
Ok

Here to see if anyone remember furry Naomi H. Well deserved.
