How fast does the space station travels?

Answer 1

about 340km above the earth

Answer 2

The International Space Station travels in orbit around Earth at a speed of 17,500 miles per hour (that's about 5 miles per second!). This means that the Space Station orbits Earth (and sees a sunrise) once every 92 minutes!

Answer 3

The International Space Station (ISS) travels at an average speed of 28,000 kilometers per hour (17,500 miles per hour) in orbit around Earth. This high speed allows the ISS to orbit the Earth approximately every 90 minutes.

Answer 4

Much more than 20,000 miles per hour. I stopped counting. That's part of the job of the rocket. 1) get the shuttle high, And 2) get the shuttle going fast. On tv, they show the speed of the shuttle increasing during liftoff. It's going more than 20,000 miles per hour while the rocket is still attached high in the atmosphere/ darkness.

Answer 5

-- At the present time, the space shuttles no longer travel. Their program has ended,

they're all in museums as static displays, and the speed of each shuttle is zero.

-- When they were flying, their assignments all consisted of low-earth-orbit tasks...

carrying crew and supplies to the International Space Station, launching, recovering,

and repairing artificial satellites, mapping the Earth's surface, etc. So a shuttle's

target speed was the speed it needed in order to enter and maintain whatever

low earth orbit it wanted to visit.

That was always somewhere around 17,300 miles per hour (27,800 km per hour).

Answer 6

A typical satellite travels at speeds of around 17,000 miles per hour. This allows them to orbit the Earth in about 90 minutes.

Answer 7

The International Space Station travels at orbital velocity which is 5 miles per second, or approximately 17,500 miles per hour.

Answer 8

How fast does a spaceship travel

Answer 9

it doesnt move the solar system moves
