Making the world better, one answer at a time. The International Space Station travels in orbit around Earth at a speed of 17,500 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!he spacecraft would be in orbit. The speed required for the International Space Station to orbit is 17,500 miles per hour. The higher an object's orbit is, the slower it has to travel to maintain that orbit.
