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.
Gee, that's an easy one! The shuttle or anything in low earth orbit has to travel about 17,500 miles per hour, and that is roughly ten times the speed of a rifle bullet. If you think a rifle bullet is moving fast -- just imagine the orbiter.It's moving about ten times that speed.So that should give you some idea.he shuttle or anything in low earth orbit has to travel about 17,500 miles per hour, and that is roughly ten times the speed of a rifle bullet.
