The ISS orbits the Earth 16 times a day, taking 90 minutes per orbit. It has traveled over 1.75 billion miles and takes two days to reach from Earth. Crews have occupied it since 2000.
The International Space Station (ISS) takes about 90 minutes to orbit the Earth, which means it makes the trip around the planet about 16 times a day. As of July 2012, the ISS had traveled more than 1.75 billion miles (2.8 billion km). The journey from Earth to the ISS takes about two days, partly due to the time it takes to inspect a space shuttle before letting it dock on the ISS.
