A rocket ship can travel at different speeds depending on its mission and stage of flight. At takeoff, a rocket ship can reach speeds of around 28,000 kilometers per hour (17,500 miles per hour). As it travels through space, its speed can increase significantly, reaching speeds of over 40,000 kilometers per hour (25,000 miles per hour) when in orbit.

How fast does space junk travel in space?

Orbital velocity is about 27,358 KPH or 17,000 MPH. If space junk is going less than that fast it will fall back to Earth. If the junk was part of an interplanetary mission it is going away from Earth at more 40,233 KPH or 25,000 MPH.


The speed at which you travel in space unaided?

The speed ranges for rockets.The speed of the rocket depends on the power of the rocket. The speed may vary from 5000 kph to 40000 kph. You can only travel at 40000 kph only if the engine is at full thrust.


How fast does a modern spaceship travel at?

The answer would be A modern spaceship would travel at the same rate as SPACE The only way NASA can travel faster than the rate of space is that the space ship would have to {WARP}= to bend Dark Matter. To do that NASA has to have a spinning cylindrical object with a gravitational pull on each side of the ship to keep the gravity centered and stable, so it would pull the person inside the ship evenly, so you can walk around in the ship while traveling at the rate of space with no problem, also NASA needs a magnetic pull inside the ship that pulls on all sides of the ship to keep it straight with no turbulent acts.


Which planet orbits the sun at speed of 110000 kph?

The planet that orbits the sun at a speed of approximately 110,000 kph is Earth.


What is the speed of the space shuttle during liftoff?

Of coarse the space shuttle begins launch at zero miles per hour but after about 8 seconds it is going about 100 mph (161 kph) 17 seconds into the launch it's going about 341 mph (549 kph)! Within 10 minutes it will be in orbit traveling about 17,500 mph (28,164 kph).
