How fast does a spaceship travel in Earth's orbit and is there a sense of speed? The international space station (taken as an example) orbits earth once every 92 minutes and travels at over 17,000 mph relative to the earths surface.
For the Earth, this speed is 11200 meters per second, or about 25,000 miles per hour. No, the spacecraft will not continue at that speed -- gravity will constantly pull the spacecraft towards the Earth and slow it down.
