People Are Donating To Planned Parenthood In Mike Penceâs Name PREVIOUSLY: Here’s a much-needed Monday morning pick-me-up: Women are donating to Planned Parenthood in Vice President-elect Mike Pence’s name. The donations are, of course, ironic since Pence is an extreme anti-abortion, anti-LGBTQ evangelical Catholic. The new VP-elect has effectively led the GOP’s war on Planned Parenthood and completely defunded the women’s health organization in his home state of Indiana.

Five key scientific findings from 15 years of the International Space Station Five key scientific findings from 15 years of the International Space Station. The International Space Station is the longest-running continuously inhabited human outpost in space – this year it celebrated its 15th anniversary. As the ISS orbits the Earth it is essentially in a state of free fall, counteracting the Earth’s gravity and providing an ideal platform for science in space.

International Space Station ISS is the ninth space station to be inhabited by crews, following the Soviet and later Russian Salyut, Almaz, and Mir stations as well as Skylab from the US. The station has been continuously occupied for 7008471909275000000♠ 14 years and 348 days since the arrival of Expedition 1 on 2 November 2000.his is the longest continuous human presence in space, having surpassed the previous record of 7008314841600000000♠ 9 years and 357 days held by Mir. The station is serviced by a variety of visiting spacecraft: Soyuz, Progress, the Automated Transfer Vehicle, the H-II Transfer Vehicle, Dragon, and Cygnus.

- With 3 to 7 people sharing a small enclosed volume on the still-growing Space Station, air management is critical. Life support systems on the ISS must not only supply oxygen and remove carbon dioxide from the cabin's atmosphere, but also prevent gases like ammonia and acetone, which people emit in small quantities, from accumulating.

How does the Space Station stay put in orbit? Best Answer: The International Space Station (ISS) is not stationary, but is in orbit around the Earth, making one orbit about every hour and a half. It's forward speed almost perfectly balances the gravitational pull of the Earth downward with the centripetal force outward.

Space station As of September 2014 two space stations are in orbit: the International Space Station, which is permanently manned, and China's Tiangong-1 (which successfully launched on September 29, 2011), which is unmanned most of the time.Previous stations include the Almaz and Salyut series, Skylab and most recently Mir.he core module of the International Space Station was launched in 1998. The ISS is divided into two main sections, the Russian orbital segment (ROS), and the United States operational segment (USOS). USOS modules were brought to the station by the Space Shuttle and manually attached to the ISS by crews during EVAs.

- But it's not any particular height or altitude that makes them weightless. Gravity is almost as strong at the height of the International Space Station as on the surface of the Earth -- only a few percent weaker. It's not the height, but the motion of the spacecraft that causes weightlessness.

Robots in Space Manned Space Robots. A manned spacecraft carries Astronauts to space. Unlike an unmanned probe, the manned spacecraft consists of a crew compartment and life support systems. This type of spacecraft can either be reused as in the case of Space Shuttle or designed for one-time use as in Soyuz.
