A: The space station travels through space at 17,500 miles per hour at an altitude of about 220. miles. We orbit the Earth about once every 90 minutes. During the orbit of the Earth we are in. daylight for about 45 minutes and darkness for about 45 minutes. That means the sun will rise and. set 16 times a day. You can see the space station from where you live at certain times. Visit http://. www.jsc.nasa.gov/sightings/index.html to find out when you can see the ISS.
The International Space Station is in a low Earth orbit between 199 mi and 216 mi. To maintain this orbit, the space station has to travel at a speed of about 17,500 miles per â¦ hour.If a spacecraft was launched sideways off the Earth with a low velocity, gravity would pull it towards the ground.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. + 45 others found this useful.
