The Soviet Union launched the first "spaceship" or satellite, Sputnik, back in 1957. It orbited the earth every 90 minutes. This, of course, depends upon what you mean by "spaceship." Sputnik weighed 18 lbs, it was not very large.
The next thing the Soviets launched into orbit was a small dog named Laika, aboard a craft (Sputnik 2) that weighed close to a ton--a few months later. It traveled about the same speed, which is pretty fast. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sputnik_2
If you work out the math from the site above, it comes out to around 17,000 miles per hour, the minimum speed for orbital velocity.
To break the pull of gravity and escape the earth's gravity well (escape velocity) you must travel 7 miles per second, or 25,000 mph. To escape the solar system you must travel quite a bit faster yet.
What else can I help you with?
What thing go fast?
a spaceship. Or the light. I think that is the fastest thing.
What moves faster a spaceship or a space station?
A spaceship typically moves faster than a space station. Spaceships are designed for interstellar travel and can reach high speeds to explore different regions of space, while space stations are usually in orbit around a celestial body and travel at a slower, consistent pace.
What is the duration of First Spaceship on Venus?
The duration of First Spaceship on Venus is 1.55 hours.
How can you have a spaceship in little space heroes?
You need to past your spaceship test to get a spaceship then go to a lunch pad then there you have it.
How do you get a spaceship on animal crossing lets go to the city?
you can't get a spaceship
Why did sally ride go on the journey?
I think she wanted to become the first woman to travel in a spaceship.
When was First Spaceship on Venus created?
First Spaceship on Venus was created on 1960-02-26.
How fast can our spaceship can go?
t 11 kilometers (7 miles) per second, or over 40,000 kilometers per hour (25,000 miles per hour)
How do you get to the spaceship in poptropica?
to power the spaceship go to the right after the castle then talk to the first man you see he will then give you a bag of manure. then go to the roof of the wind mill and click use on the manure your spaceship will then appear outside on the mud.
When was the first spaceship made?
The first spaceship was made in 1957 with the launch of Sputnik 1 by the Soviet Union. It was the first artificial satellite to be put into orbit around the Earth.
How long would it take to go from sun to the farthest planet in the fastest spaceship?
We don't know where the farthest planet is. But if we assume it's at the edge of the observable universe, then it depends on how fast we go:A spaceship travelling as fast as we can go in 2017 would take 838 trillion years.A spaceship travelling at the speed of light (which is virtually impossible) would take 45 billion years.A star trek Starship travelling at variable warp speeds would take about 45 million years
How many hours by spaceship is it from earth to mars?
That depends on how fast the spaceship is traveling, and the change in distance between the two planets (in their respective orbits) as it travels.
