Relying too much on the offensive weapons of their acute angles instead of the defensive organs of good sense and seasonable simulation, these reckless creatures too often neglect the prescribed construction of the women's apartments, or irritate their wives by ill-advised expressions out of doors, which they refuse immediately to retract.
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!
2 Answers 2. The ISS orbit is prograde - in the direction of the Earth rotation. Prograde orbits are orbits with inclination less than 90 degrees. ISS inclination is 51.6 degrees. These orbits are slightly easier to reach, because they don't require as much fuel, as you get additional kick from the Earth during launch.
