Even though the space station is traveling at a speed of 17,500 miles per hour, all objects inside or attached to the space station are traveling in the same speed and direction. Relative to these objects, the space station will appear like it isn't moving at all. When an astronaut goes on an extra-vehicular activity (EVA) outside the space station, he will still be moving in the same speed and direction as the space station. Because of this, the space station will appear to be stationary to the astronaut (Unless the astronaut pushed against it, in which case the astronaut would drift away). In the event that an astronaut does accidentally push himself away from the space station, tethers and handrails allow the astronaut to pull himself back to safety.

The space shuttle orbits at approximately 17500 miles per hour how far could it travel in one year?
Approximately 153 million miles.17,500 miles/hour * 24 hours/day = 420,000 miles/day420,000 miles/day * 365 days/year = 153,300,000 miles/year
How can astronauts perform their space walk and move around as if nothing while the space station is traveling at 17500 mph?
Astronauts can perform their space walk and move around as if nothing is happening while the space station is traveling at 17,500 miles per hour, because there is no gravity. This keeps them from feeling the fast speed.

What space station is the Canada arm on?
The Canada arm is located on the International Space Station (ISS). It is a robotic system used for various tasks, such as docking spacecraft and conducting maintenance operations outside the station.
Will an astronaut on a space walk outside the space station quickly float away from the station unless they have a tether holding them to the station or constantly fire thrusters on their space suit?
False. The astronaut will stay in orbit with the space station on less some force acts on him or her.
What do astronauts do outside the space station?
Spacewalk,from repairs,to intalling new experiments
Is International Space Station consider deep space?
