Does light travel fast outer space?

yes


How fast does a person travel in space when outside of spacecraft?

10000 km an hour


How fast do spacecraft travel?

They can go up to 200 mph in the atmosphere, but in space they can go up to probably 30 or 60 mph.


What is the average speed of the spacecraft?

Space shuttles can travel at extremely fast speeds. Typically, space shuttles orbit the Earth at slightly less than 20,000 miles per hour.


Why does the space station travel so fast?

The International Space Station is in a low Earth orbit between 199 mi and 216 mi. To maintain this orbit, the space station has to travel at a speed of about 17,500 miles per hour. If a spacecraft was launched sideways off the Earth with a low velocity, gravity would pull it towards the ground. If the spacecraft was launched at a faster velocity, it would hit the ground at a farther distance because the ground would be curving away at a faster rate. However if the spacecraft was launched fast enough, the Earth would constantly curve away as the spacecraft falls indefinitely. The spacecraft would be in orbit. The speed required for the International Space Station to orbit is 17,500 miles per hour. The higher an object's orbit is, the slower it has to travel to maintain that orbit.


How fast is electronic dynamic waves travel to the space.?

I assume you mean electromagnetic waves. In outer space, they will travel at the speed of light (since light is also an electrodynamic wave). This speed is about 300,000 kilometers per second.


How fast do people in space travel?

It depends on where in space they are but they often travel extremely fast, upwards of 11 km per second


What is the speed maintained by a rocket if it is launced in outer space so it will escape the earth's gravity?

According to most sources, the minimum speed needed to escape the Earth's gravity is 11.2km/s, so a rocket would need to travel at least this fast to get into outer space.


How fast did Apollo spacecraft travel when going to the moon?

The Apollo spacecraft traveled at a maximum speed of 24,000 mph. To overcome the Earth's gravitational pull, one must travel at or above its escape velocity which is 24,000 mph.
