How fast did the Apollo spacecraft go?
The Apollo spacecraft traveled at speeds of about 25,000 miles per hour (40,000 km/h) to reach the Moon and during its return journey to Earth.
How fast did the Apollo space shutle travel?
The Apollo spacecraft traveled at speeds of around 25,000 miles per hour (40,000 kilometers per hour) during its journey to the Moon. The fastest speed reached by humans in space was during the Apollo 10 mission, when the spacecraft reached a speed of about 24,791 miles per hour (39,897 kilometers per hour).
How fast did the appollo 11 travel to the moon?
The Apollo 11 spacecraft traveled at an average speed of about 24,500 miles per hour (39,350 kilometers per hour) during its journey to the moon. This journey took approximately three days to complete.
How fast can a man made spacecraft travel in outer space?
Man-made spacecraft can travel at speeds up to about 17,500 miles per hour (28,000 kilometers per hour) in outer space. This speed allows spacecraft to escape Earth's gravitational pull and travel to other planets, moons, and even beyond our solar system.
How fast does a person travel in space when outside of spacecraft?
A person will travel at the same speed as the spacecraft from which they have exited since they are no longer being propelled by any additional force. Their speed would be determined by the velocity of the spacecraft at the moment of exit.

How fast was the Galileo spacecraft going when it reached Jupiter?
From what I have read it was going 50,000 mph.

How fast was the spacecraft that took man to the moon?
The Apollo spacecraft that took humans to the moon traveled at an average speed of about 3,600 kilometers per hour (2,200 miles per hour) during the journey from Earth to the moon.
How fast did Apollo 13 travel?
When Apollo 13 was reentering Earth is was traveling at a speed of 36,210.6 feet per second. When the spacecraft came around from the far side of the moon it was traveling at 860.5 feet per second.
Why did the Apollo 13 spacecraft have a parachute?
The same reason why all spacecrafts have parachutes: During reentry into the Earth's atmosphere, the spacecraft goes extremely fast. And if there are people in the spacecraft and no parachute, they would slam into the water at that speed and it would be like hitting concrete. So without a parachute, everyone on the spacecraft would be killed.
What were some of the design constraints of the Apollo 11 mission?
When building the Apollo spacecraft, there were numerous limits to avoid. Firstly, the weight of the spacecraft had to be within a certain limit. If the equipment or spacecraft were too heavy, the Saturn V could not propel the spacecraft fast enough to reach the moon.
How fast did Apollo 8 travel?
The speed of an Apollo spacecraft is hard to answer because there are many answers available. The best question would ask something like "What was the maximum speed?", or "what was the average speed during the translunar or transearth phase?" The problem is that the speed of spacecraft was constantly changing. In order to break out of Earth orbit and reach the moon, an object must travel approximately 24,000 miles per hour. The Apollo spacecraft did just that. However, they didn't maintain that speed. Once they were out of orbit, they simply coasted the entire distance to the moon. Breaking out of Earth orbit does not mean breaking free from Earth's gravity though. The Earth was constantly pulling on the spacecraft, slowing it down. Eventually, the spacecraft got close enough to the moon that that moon's gravity had a stronger effect than the Earth's gravity, pulling the Apollo module forward, causing the module to speed up. With that in mind, we can provide the speed of Apollo 8 at various events: At translunar injection, Apollo 8 was traveling at 35, 505.41 ft/sec, or 24,208 mph. When the spacecraft entered the moon's sphere of influence (when the action of the moon's gravity became stronger than the action of the Earth's gravity on the spacecraft), it had slowed down to 3,261 ft/sec, or 2,223 mph. When the spacecraft reentered the Earth's atmosphere after returning from the moon, it was traveling at 36,221 ft/sec, or 24,696 mph.
How fast does a capsule travel to the moon?
The Apollo capsules could go almost 40,000 km/h
