International Space Station
artificial, habitable satellite
International Space Station
the International Space Station is a joint project by: (5)
- NASA
- Roscosmos (Russia)
- JAXA (Japan)
- ESA (Europe)
- CSA (Canada)
the International Space Station orbits the earth every
90 minutes
are both natural and anthropogenic waste in space
Space debris
common types of space debris:
-artificial debris mostly coming from spacecraft
-meteoroids that usually orbit the sun
space debris usually travel up to ________ mph and as such even minute parts or particles could cause potential damage to other vehicles or the ISS
17, 500
the first company to use reusable rocket launchers with very high accuracy
SpaceX
LED light that would not only help plants grow, but also keep humans awake and alert when working long hours
SkyBlue
(Pre-Philippines Space Agency) main goal was to launch the first microsatellite for high-precision Earth observation
PHL Microsat Program
first satellite built and designed by Filipinos
Diwata 1
Diwata 1 re-entered the atmosphere and was last contacted in
April 2020
difference between diwata 1 and diwata 2
diwata 2 includes natural and cultural heritage site mapping

[Research and Technology on the ISS] In microgravity, controls on the directionality and geometry of cell and tissue growth can be dramatically different to those on Earth
Biology and Biotechnology
[Research and Technology on the ISS] The presence of the space station in low-Earth orbit provides a unique vantage point for collecting Earth and space science data
Earth and Space Science
[Research and Technology on the ISS] The space station provides a unique platform for inspiring students to excel in mathematics and science
Educational Activities
[Research and Technology on the ISS] The space station is being used to study the risks to human health that are inherent in space exploration
Human Research
[Research and Technology on the ISS] This unique microgravity environment allows different physical properties to dominate systems, and these have been harnesses for a wide variety.
