Answer 2

the answers to all of your questions are given below:
Answer1.) No! an aeroplane cannot stop sill in the air because the law that makes the aeroplane fly says "the air on the top of the wing must flow faster than the air flowing below it" so if the areoplane try to stop it will simply fall down like a stone thrown from the sky!.
Answer2.) a sapce shettle has a speed of 11km/s when it goes into the space,to reach the international space station different shettles take different times...it depends on the shettle.
Answer3.) the space station is controlled directly by NASA, the big energy reflectors and savers situated on the international space station collecet energy from the sun and make it available for the mechanism to work.
Answer4.) The space station is situated more than 3000kms away from earth (approximately). Thank you! i have answered all of your answers.

Answer 3

From what I can muster, the space station is in orbit around the earth. The international space station is at an orbit of about 360km. This is a Low Earth Orbit. The space shuttles travelling there take about 2 days or less to dock, and they could easily fly past it in less than an hour. The space station uses some propulsion to maintain its orbit (because it is so close to the earth the atmosphere slows it down [air resistance]). It is manned by astronaughts who maintain a liveable environment there. The space station is used to test how humans are affected by living for long periods of time in space.

Answer 4

The space station is not fixed in space. It is moving, quite fast. A geosynchronous orbit means it is fixed relative to a point on the earth. Space itself is expanding, nothing it absolutely stationary, only relatively so. As for specifics, check out the nasa website.
