32. Could we get lost in space? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

It is unlikely. The Station is always in orbit, and its attitude is fixed by system constraints. Current spacecraft have advanced navigation and tracking systems, along with a wide array of satellites available to constantly monitor their position and keep them on course. They have the ability to perform re-boosts and corrective burns to keep them on orbit and on course.
