Q: How is the ISS? Gezeravcı: On my page, there is a video, and it's like a giant laboratory. It is located 400 kilometers above Earth and moves at a speed of 28,000 kilometers per hour. Constructed in space by 16 countries, it weighs approximately 450 tons, and continuous additions are made to it. With a cost exceeding 150 billion dollars, the facility is approximately the size of a football field.
