What is the speed if International Space Station in orbit per hour?
Approximately 17,500mph.
What is the difference between the speed of light as measured on Earth and as measured on the International space station?
there is none.
What is the speed international space station?
The speed of the ISS is about 28000 Km/h or about 17,000 mph at an altitude of 300 to 400 kilometres.
What is the speed of the shuttle and the International Space Station when they are chasing each other?
They go about 17,500 miles per hour.
What happens during a space walk does the International Space Station stop or it continues at the same speed?
The space station continues at the same speed. The spacewalker will also travel at the same speed. Their relative speed however will be near zero however because they are travelling together. In effect their is no real way for a spacecraft to speed up or slow down without changing its orbit.
What would happen to the International Space Station if it were moving sideways faster than orbital speed?
It would fall to Earth's surface.
What is the speed of the ISS?
The average speed of the International Space Station is 17,221 miles per hour. It completes an orbit every 91.48 minutes at an average altitude of 222.3 miles.
How fast is space station traveling?
to the speed of your dick
Does the international space station have kinetic energy?
Yes to both, relative to Earth, because work was done to lift it in Earth's gravitational field and to impart speed to it.
What would happen if the International Space Station if it were moving sideways faster than orbital speed?
It would probably loose control or wouldn't be able to collect data.
Can you fly while you are in a space shuttle in space?
You may have seen photos or videos of astronauts who appear to be floating through the air while in space. They aren't flying, nor are they really floating, they are falling. Any orbiting spacecraft (such as the space shuttle or international space station) is actually falling around the Earth in a circular pattern. They have achieved enough speed (over 17,000 mph) to continue moving around the Earth without the Earth's gravity pulling the spacecraft down. Astronauts aboard those spacecraft are moving inside the spacecraft and falling along with them at the same speed giving the appearance that they flying or floating inside.
How fast is ISS moving?
At its average altitude of 220 miles and its orbital period of 91 minutes,the International Space Station is moving with an orbital speed of 17,240miles per hour.
