The International Space Station (ISS) travels at a speed of approximately 28,000 kilometers per hour (17,500 miles per hour), which is about 7.66 kilometers per second (4.76 miles per second). Spacecraft approach the ISS using precise navigation and guidance systems that account for its high velocity and orbital dynamics. They perform a series of carefully timed maneuvers to slow down and align themselves with the ISS before executing a final approach, often using thrusters to adjust their speed and position. This allows for a controlled docking process while both the spacecraft and the ISS are in constant motion.
What else can I help you with?
Why does the light from the sun take so long to reach earth when the light is traveling so fast?
light takes approximately 8 minutes to travel from the sun to the earth. even though it is traveling extremely fast, the earth is about 93million miles away from the sun, so if you think about it 8 minutes is pretty quick
What does a international space station look like from earth?
The International Space Station (ISS) appears as a bright, fast-moving dot in the sky when viewed from Earth. It resembles a fast-moving airplane but does not have blinking lights. The ISS orbits the Earth approximately every 90 minutes, so it can often be seen during evening or early morning hours.
What is the weight of the iss?
The International Space Station (ISS) has a mass of approximately 420,000 kilograms. Weight is a force that depends on gravity, so the weight of the ISS would vary depending on its location in space.
How do Space shuttles dock the iss?
International Space Station is about 400km from Earth and travels around it at about 27000Km/hr making several revolutions per day. Space Shuttles travel at about the same speed at a place called Low Earth Orbit. Logically a Space shuttle should arrive at the ISS in seconds but this is not so because the ISS is moving arround the world at a tremendous speed and the shuttle is moving towards it, so it should be taken into consideration that they do not collide and all mathematical questions come into play like when exactly will they meet and how and where almost like a weather forecast. The shuttle has to take an orbit that curves slightly outwards towards the ISS until it attaches itself to it after following it for two or three days and then it will look like one big unit combined. It is at this stage that you will notice that the shuttles are not aeroplanes at all inspite of their good looks and similarities with aeroplanes. O.T. MOSHETI (BOTSWANA)
Can you see the international space station from earth?
Yes, the International Space Station (ISS) can be seen from Earth with the naked eye as a fast-moving bright light, especially at night. The ISS orbits the Earth about every 90 minutes, so its visibility depends on factors like time of day, location, and atmospheric conditions.
What is the reason for P waves traveling so fast and L waves traveling so slow?
hi
Can you see the satellite from earth traveling really fast?
Yes, frequently. Bigger satellites like the International Space Station are easy to see; they are very bright and fast-moving. Smaller satellites are, obviously, not so bright and therefore less obvious. Visit SpaceWeather.com and click on the link to "Satellite Flybys" in the right-hand sidebar. Then enter your location, and it will show you any ISS overflights in the next week or so.
Who is at fault if it is raining and a car traveling too fast in a parking lot failed to yield to a car that was already backing out?
Really that's kind of hard to answer. My answer might not help, but i think both because the car backing up should be paying closer attention, but the other car shouldn't be traveling so fast in a parking lot so I'm going to go with the car that was car traveling to fast.
How fast do you have to go to travel one mile in 60 seconds?
You are traveling 1 mile in 1 minute. There are 60 minutes in an hour, so you are traveling 60 mph.

Why it takes a space shuttle so long to dock at the ISS even though it gets to orbit in few seconds after it lifts from earth?
Because if they timed it so it docked at the same time as it reached orbit, there would be no room for adjustments like weather delays, etc. By giving themselves several orbits (or days), it is much easier for the Shuttle to adjust it's speed and altitudeso it can approach the ISS at a safe speed. Consideration is also given to the sun angle at the projected time of docking. It would be very difficult to see the docking target if the Shuttle pilot had to look into the sun while trying to dock.

Was the Thompson dock a dry dock?
the Thompson Dock was the worlds largest dry dock in 1911, so yes it was, and it helped create Titanic and its sister vessels Olympic and Britannic. :)

It has a high potential for injury

Why is iss so boring?
Because i mean it's iss nothing fun is going to happen there please get me out i fell like if i was in my own cell in a hell
