With the comment, the International Space Station completed 150,000 orbits around Earth, covering a distance of 6.4 billion kilometers. According to the publication "Russia Today", Roscosmos noted that this distance is 30 times greater than the average distance between Earth and Mars, and four times exceeds the distance from Earth to Saturn, and is approximately equal to the distance to the orbit of Pluto.
Every day, the International Space Station makes an average of 16 orbits around Earth. The birthday of the ISS is November 20, 1998, the same day when the first unit of the future ISS was launched into orbit near Earth, namely the Russian module "Zarya".
As of today, the total weight of the ISS is more than 440 tons. A total of 14 countries participated in the construction of the station, and the overall cost of the project exceeded 150 billion dollars.
