∙ 14y agoThe 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!

∙ 16y agoMuch 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.

∙ 11y ago-- 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).

What moves faster a spaceship or a space station?
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.
How fast is the international space station traveling?
7.66 km/second.
How fast does a space station orbit around the earth?
6 hours
How fast does the international space station orbit?
In the neighborhood of 8,000 meters per second. Pretty fast.
How fast does space junk travel?
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.
How fast does a space station move?
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.
