A: The space station travels through space at 17,500 miles per hour at an altitude of about 220. miles. We orbit the Earth about once every 90 minutes. During the orbit of the Earth we are in. daylight for about 45 minutes and darkness for about 45 minutes. That means the sun will rise and. set 16 times a day. You can see the space station from where you live at certain times. Visit http://. www.jsc.nasa.gov/sightings/index.html to find out when you can see the ISS.
The trip takes around seven months; a bit longer than astronauts currently stay on the International Space Station. The precise duration of each journey depends on when it is taken. Because both Mars and Earth's orbits are not perfectly circular, the time it takes to travel between them varies from six to eight months.he precise duration of each journey depends on when it is taken.
