about 340km above the earth
The International Space Station travels in orbit around Earth at a speed of 17,500 miles per hour (that's about 5 miles per second!). This means that the Space Station orbits Earth (and sees a sunrise) once every 92 minutes!
Much more than 20,000 miles per hour. I stopped counting. That's part of the job of the rocket. 1) get the shuttle high, And 2) get the shuttle going fast. On tv, they show the speed of the shuttle increasing during liftoff. It's going more than 20,000 miles per hour while the rocket is still attached high in the atmosphere/ darkness.
-- At the present time, the space shuttles no longer travel. Their program has ended,
they're all in museums as static displays, and the speed of each shuttle is zero.
-- When they were flying, their assignments all consisted of low-earth-orbit tasks...
carrying crew and supplies to the International Space Station, launching, recovering,
and repairing artificial satellites, mapping the Earth's surface, etc. So a shuttle's
target speed was the speed it needed in order to enter and maintain whatever
low earth orbit it wanted to visit.
That was always somewhere around 17,300 miles per hour (27,800 km per hour).
A typical satellite travels at speeds of around 17,000 miles per hour. This allows them to orbit the Earth in about 90 minutes.
The International Space Station travels at orbital velocity which is 5 miles per second, or approximately 17,500 miles per hour.
How fast does a spaceship travel
it doesnt move the solar system moves
International space station is not flying, its orbiting.
The space station does NOT fly. IT is in space and there is no are for it to fly in. The space station is in Earth Orbit moving at 7.66 kilometres per second.
A space station goes very fast. It orbits the earth every 90 minutes! (hour and a half)

A space station only has to go fast enough to achieve orbit. A spaceship has to go fast enough to break out of orbit and get where it is going. So, a spaceship.
7.66 km/second.
6 hours
In the neighborhood of 8,000 meters per second. Pretty fast.
Space junk travels as fast as all material that orbits the Earth or at about 17,500 miles per hour. This is fast enough to do damage to anything the junk encounters in orbit.
The ISS travels at almost 5 miles per second (17,500 miles per hour or 28,000 kilometers per hour). It orbits Earth once in 92 minutes presently.
