![]() ![]() Pesquet has been experimenting with different photographic techniques to show the ISS's speed. It's hard to conceptualize that amount of speed, but French astronaut Thomas Pesquet is aboard the ISS now and wanted to help those of us on terra firma understand the speed at which the ISS moves. It takes the ISS a mere 92.68 minutes to orbit Earth, meaning it goes around Earth nearly 16 times per day. The modular space station has an orbital speed of 7.66 kilometers per second, which is roughly 17,100 mph. The International Space Station (ISS) moves fast.
