The International Space Station travels in orbit around Earth at a speed of roughly 17,150 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!
The International Space Station usually takes around 90 minutes to orbit our planet, so if youâre really lucky you can get two, or maybe even three or four passes in an evening or morning. Not only can you see the ISS in the evening but you can also see it in the mornings as both the ISS and Sun are in the ideal position to illuminate the spacecraft at this time.
