ISS, satellite or not
In the recent poll, one of the subject titles was "ISS not a satellite". I have heard this statement before and it has always confused me. It appears to me that ISS fits the 2b definition of a satellite:
2 a : a celestial body orbiting another of larger size b : a manufactured object or vehicle intended to orbit the earth, the moon, or another celestial body

Are there other definitions that make ISS not a satellite?
