According to http://www.esa.int/esaHS/ESA7YL0VMOC_iss_0.html the International Space Station travels at 7.7-7.6 km/s which is equivalent to which is approximately 17,000 mph. J Menchaca

Where does a space station travel?
Currently, the ISS (International Space Station) orbits the Earth.
Where does a cosmonaut travel?
Cosmonauts typically travel to the International Space Station but in general travel to outer space.
At what elevation does the International Space Station travel?
80 miles
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 does the space station travels?
The International Space Station travels at orbital velocity which is 5 miles per second, or approximately 17,500 miles per hour.
How do you travel unto space?
You need a spacecraft that will exceed escape velocity.
Can you travel in space?
It is possible to travel in space. The International Space Station currently orbits 250 miles above Earth and there are astronauts living there.

How do you get yavin space station in KOTOR PC?
go to the galactic map then press on yavin then travel then you should arrive at yavin space station
What are some space travel jobs?
Astronomer, Space Engineer, Astronomer in the Space Station Those are just a couple

Orbital velocity of the international space station?
The ISS is orbiting at around 27,743.8 km/h ((17,239.2 mph)
Why was the International Space Station built?
so we can perform experiments to better man kind and to learn more about space to help space travel
