Max:

I think the number of sunrises and sunsets for the station crew are likely to be in the neighborhood of 16 of each. The orbit of the station is circa 90 minutes. At work I have a web link that gives all kinds of fascinating details, including when you can see the major satellites, so I could be off a little bit on the 90 minutes. The minimum orbit time is a shade less than 90inutes otherwise the satellite enters the atmosphere. For 90 minute-orbits that's two orbits in three hours or 16 orbits in 24 hours.

I suspect you would then add in one more susnrise-sunset for the earth's rotation, since the 90 minutes is in relation to the earth itself.
