So can I calculate height of ISS? Because when I multiply 9.8 by these results in tabel and than multiply this by 10 and subtract 9.8 by previous result? and than the result is very similar to real (about 50km difference)

The table with results I'm talking about is on page 18 http://esamultimedia.esa.int/docs/edu/T05.3_How_to_collect_data_from_astropi.pdf

These are the results (value of g) that are showing sensors in the computer on ISS station. When I checked the g = 8.7 the results was very close to real height of ISS station. But te results (value of g) from official page of ISS are showing very similar to my.

The result of h from my calculations is equal to about 162321138 when it should be about 400km or 400000m and I don't why.
