What is being measured?
NASA’s published span across the solar arrays. It is not the separate module-train length or orbital altitude.
Use the named object, variant and dimension. A manufactured or natural object can differ from this reference.

Put the length in perspective
One International Space Station represents approximately 1,270 card lengths measured end to end. This is a length ratio; it does not calculate how the objects pack or fit.
