Seems like such a strange thing imagining the Mach number on something that usually travels in a vacuum where there is no air or sound. The thought of how quickly it would get melted in earth's atmosphere.
Why does everybody use mach to measure speed in a vacuum,? Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m quite sure that a mach number is the result of a calculation of the speed of an object and the density of the atmosphere, if there is no atmosphere, how can a mach number be implemented?
Mach number is a ratio between the speed of something and the speed of sound in the given environment which makes it dimensionless and not really a measure of speed. People like to "dimensionalize" Mach numbers by assuming that the exact setting involves the earth's atmosphere at the average temperature at sea level. Even then, that's only the upstream Mach number since the speed of sound gets significantly faster whenever compression work is done and the gas is getting hotter.
I mean... Even without friction, moving air is still considered work. And It will have to move a lot faster at this height (unless it has wings, then it is just a plane, since Bernoulli's principle should work without friction).
I mean, it makes sense. If you've ever downloaded the ISS Tracker App and watched it fly by at its actual altitude, it's truly amazing how quickly it gets in and out of your view. A good direct overhead fly by only lasts a few short minutes from appearing to disappearing, and in the app you can see how much land it covers in that time span.
It's about ten minutes from horizon to horizon. Either from NW to SE or from SW to NE depending the part of the period of the sinusoidal that you catch. A nice watch to see, kind of a family hobby when we are outside right after dawn. Bright as Venus.
@OpenYourMind I saw the bright dot heading over my head and immediately thought it might be the ISS. The tracker confirmed it. If I had a potent small telescope next to me (and steady hands), I would be able to make out details optically. Edit: Turns out the reply was deleted so here you go.

@@5blocksmc979 dude, the fucking tower was hit by the ISS at mach 22. You really think there is going to BE any first tower?!?!? That is the second tower you see my man. The first one was pulverized into its core molecular structers in a matter of milliseconds when the first ISS hit.
Would there be much left after the first one?... It has nearly 3 kilotons of kinetic energy. Even if it's not delivered in the most effective way, that's still nearly two Douglas AIR-2 Genies.

@@malcolmabram2957 are you in a very Northern latitude by any chance? In most of the world, it can fly directly over head at night, which takes a few minutes. I can imagine if you're very Northern or very Southern, you'd only catch it low to the horizon where it's further away and takes longer.
@@edonslow1456 I am wrong. Lets do a bit of math. The ISS orbits at an altitude of 250 miles. Using the Omni horizon calculator, the horizon from whence it can be first seen is 1440 miles away. That means it travels 2880 miles from horizon to horizon. At 17500 mph, this means the ISS will take about 10 minutes, whilst it is in view.
I spotted the ISS once overhead just after sunset (India). The flare was momentarily brighter than Venus and the speed with which it flew was astonishing. I got back to my room less than half an hour later and discovered it was already past Japan. The speed is ridiculous!
Speed is ridiculous, but still nothing in space. Even lightspeed is nothing in the universe. There are objects in space, 13 billion light-years away. So light needs 13 billion years to reach them.☹️ No chance for us to get there, sadly. We need wormholes or so. Cutting corners.

@@YBehri Why limiting yourself at strictly following parallels? We can start in the northern hemisphere and encircle Earth by diagonal, entering southern hemisphere.
You can't orbit on a parallel, unless it's the equator. Your ground track will always cross the equator and go into the northern and southern hemispheres. This is why you always want to launch as close to the equator as possible (unless your goal is a polar orbit), which is why the US uses Florida and the Soviets chose Baikonur.
For anyone unaware, you can see the iss every now and then at night near ur location. You just need to look up iss fly bys then type in (near ur location) two days in a row I got lucky seeing a satellite and the iss 2 minutes apart. There are also lives on yt of astronauts speaking in the iss they sometimes say hello to you. Honestly it’s so great. Forgot to mention it happened a third time with the iss flying over with a satellite about a month later and we started seeing a bunch of random stars moving, turns out there was a meteor shower at the same time and about 3 more satellites flew by (I’m sure to avoid being hit with a meteor).
@@fefferryerr1818You can see it anywhere as long as your latitude is within the bounds of its inclination. ISS inclination is 51.6 degrees so if you’re latitude is -51.6 through 51.6 degrees you’ll be able to see it when it passes over you.
When it goes into the iss perspective flying at those speeds it reminds me of an airship you finally get to travel the world with in some oldschool JRPG

Cool stuff. Our sense of time on earth revolves around the rotation of the earth, so mph really doesn't apply in space because the time reference is relative to objects moving in space. But it's still fast. LOL
This really puts speed in perspective. The ISS moves nowhere CLOSE to the speed of light, but it looks like it’s jumping into Star Wars hyperspace moving like that. So wild
Thanks for doing this man!! Something else that would be cool is looking at the different speeds of things like missiles and bullets. Could also do the speed of different planets and comets!!
What kind of blows my mind is that we've invented machines (rockets) that can go this fast, because of course all the ISS parts had to be launched up there into LEO. This forced perspective shows just how crazy insanely fast rockets can really go, and we've only been making them for barely more than half a century.
What blows my mind more is that cpu's can perform billions of operations per second and each transistor inside them is only a few times larger than an atom. One rocket during ww2 wouldn't mean much, but a modern cpu would change the entire course of the war.
@@puppergump4117 I believe the Turing machine was invented around WW2 and it was indeed game changing. It might not have been using tiny transistors, but it was capable of running nearly any algorithm and it changed the course of the war.
For reference, this is essentially just how fast it needs to go so that when it falls towards the earth, the earth curves away from it at that exact speed. If there was no air, it could do exactly as is seen in the video because that speed would be enough so that the ground is always falling away from the ISS at 9.8 meters per second.
I've always wondered what 17500 mph looks like! Also, I feel as though it could be even better in VR since you can experience the perspective and angular velocity firsthand. Great content, nonetheless!
@@hansvonflammenwerfer2817 this is a simulation, it cant be possible beacause of drag force, thrust, friction and some other physics , the atmosphere does not allow an object, device, space shuttle or space station to travel at such a speed within our atmosphere, he would be torn apart, due to the various friction points of the ISS station this would be physically impossible, the video is a simulation for us to understand what it would be like if it were possible to see the path it takes at a height of 10000 feet. If you have doubts just google about >>space shuttle atmosphere reentry
This crossed my mind too, but I concluded that the shockwave would be extremely short-lived, a tiny fraction of a second. After that, the whole thing would burn up and evaporate in the dense atmosphere. At this speed, even the air is like a concrete block.
@@rnzoli My comment was more hypothetical much like the video itself. I doupt the ISS could reach 100mph without running into serious integrity issues.
Honestly, what's even crazier than how fast it goes (which IS crazy), is that even at that speed it STILL takes 90 min to circle the earth... really puts into perspective how big the earth is...
Imagine climbing to the top of a mountain and taking a selfie, and then your phone gets stolen by a NASA satellite zooming past the mountaintop with someone hanging out of a window holding a fishing rod
WITH air resistance, that think would have turned into a red glowing fireball in a few seconds. Still VERY NICE to see for illustration how fast it goes. THANK YOU, great video!
Props to the incredible cameraman who managed to hang out behind the ISS and film it so smoothly and clearly despite its incredible speed and low altitude! Truly an amazing feat!
I signed up for notifications and get them earlier in the day whenever there is going to be between a 3 to 7 minute sighting but when the sky is really clear it can be visible for more like 8 to 10 minutes. The first time that I ever saw it was by accident one early morning about 18 years ago watching a 6;00 AM meteor shower and I got so freaked out and started shaking because I thought it was a UFO due to the speed and the light from it never leaving your view from front to back or side to side, but after telling a genius guy at work about it when I got to work an hour later he confirmed the time and direction heading that I had observed it to put my mind at ease, I still try to watch it whenever I can even just 2 nights ago thinking wow it's moving over 16,000 mph and 250 miles up. I keep a downloaded complete points of the compass photo image on my phone and point it north so I can see all the in between points like NNW, NW, WSW, SSW, SW, SSE, etc as all of the sightings are usually listed that way from ---> to like that, instead of ever being a PLAIN simple N, E, S, or W.
According to Flat Derpers, NASSA already has a replica drone flying that fast at around the same altitude (and like most flatty measurements, the altitude height for such a drone has to change according to what law of physics and perspective, they are trying to contorot to.
I have seen the ISS on video before, but never knew it was this fast. Great job to the people who dedicated their whole life to get this awesome video to us!
@@texasfossilguy it is this fast, but not this low. it sits in low earth orbit and because theres is no air resistance or anything stopping it from moving it just makes a steady orbit around earth every 90 minutes
This is cool, and it is an interesting way of kinda getting the real velocity of the ISS, although one physical note is that in any orbital trajectory u can only have a certain speed per orbit, if u change ur speed u are also changing ur orbit ( the ratio or distance to the center of the body u are orbiting, in this case Earth)
That is correct. If the ISS orbited at the altitude shown in the video, it would have a way greater speed, and it would only be able to do that if there were no atmosphere.
One time about 2009 I went out to see the ISS right after the shuttle had undocked. You could see the ISS, then the shuttle trailing along just behind.
We should all be thankful for the bravery of the cameraman who daringly flew on top of the ISS at such a low altitude just to give us this amazing footage

I'm amazed they got it's orbit so low despite the atmosphere, truly impressive work and engineering from all countries involved.
Please do a full 90-minute video, orbiting a somewhat populated circle (for example 45 deg northern latitude). I would like to see such a journey uninterrupted
That Earth is flat does not mean it's a disk shape.
@@bukkaratsuppa6414 the earth is round you goober
@@YBehri Why limiting yourself at strictly following parallels? We can start in the northern hemisphere and encircle Earth by diagonal, entering southern hemisphere.
You can't orbit on a parallel, unless it's the equator. Your ground track will always cross the equator and go into the northern and southern hemispheres.
This is why you always want to launch as close to the equator as possible (unless your goal is a polar orbit), which is why the US uses Florida and the Soviets chose Baikonur.
You get nothing
For anyone unaware, you can see the iss every now and then at night near ur location. You just need to look up iss fly bys then type in (near ur location) two days in a row I got lucky seeing a satellite and the iss 2 minutes apart. There are also lives on yt of astronauts speaking in the iss they sometimes say hello to you. Honestly it’s so great. Forgot to mention it happened a third time with the iss flying over with a satellite about a month later and we started seeing a bunch of random stars moving, turns out there was a meteor shower at the same time and about 3 more satellites flew by (I’m sure to avoid being hit with a meteor).
I saw it in the day
I spotted it under the moon, although only a split second bcs it was on the edge of the moon light.
But still considered it as lucky i guess ;)
From anywhere on the planet? I would think only those in a narrow corridor around the earth could see it.
You can just get an app and setup alerts just before it goes over. It will tell you when, from which bearing and for how long it will be visible.
@@fefferryerr1818You can see it anywhere as long as your latitude is within the bounds of its inclination.
ISS inclination is 51.6 degrees so if you’re latitude is -51.6 through 51.6 degrees you’ll be able to see it when it passes over you.
Amazing! This is how I imagine Goku flying casually between locations 😊
When it goes into the iss perspective flying at those speeds it reminds me of an airship you finally get to travel the world with in some oldschool JRPG
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels on RUclips
I would love a full render of the 90 minute orbit. Would be a really cool relaxing video
This channel is a treasure
explains a lot and helps you understand how fast it actually goes, thank you.
0:48 The lake it's pulling up to before the transition to the Alps is Kensico Reservoir. This reservoir is part of the bigger NYC water supply system, which sends fresh water from the Catskills down to NYC. Kensico Reservoir stores the water coming from the Catskill and Delaware Aqueducts before it is disinfected at the Catskill-Delaware Water Ultraviolet Disinfection Facility, and then flows to the Hillview Reservoir where it makes its way to the homes of NYC residents. The Delaware Aqueduct of the water supply system is actually the world's longest tunnel at 137,000 m/85.1 miles.
That's really cool! Thanks for sharing. 👍
Thanks buddy really awesome and informative :D
ngl, im surprised i didnt see any "didn't ask" or nerd emoji bs shit replying to this. nice to see something like this without that shit for once.
*b*mb location*
I just thought NYC received all of its drinking water from the Hudson. But that's probably where all the crap goes.
I have always wondered what the ISS would look like at low altitude and orbit speed. You sir have answered that question! So cool
In space theres nothing around you to truly show you how fast you are travelling, this is a good representation lol
Saw it in upstate NY. So high up. Moving so fast. Amazing.
Fun to watch. Mach 22.5 looks fast down here, but from the interstellar perspective, it's like molasses in January in northern Siberia.
Wtf is molasses
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molasses
Wtf is molasses
Wtf is molasses
Wtf is molasses
I wanted to watch such a video for a long time! Finally it exists!
Love how the cameraman follows the ISS in low altitude
That's awesome! I timed it.
It took exactly just over a few seconds to get from point A!
The video i was waiting for someone to make. Thanks! As humans can't perceive speed only acceleration.. this video Clearly demonstrated the stupendous speed at which iss and the other satellites operate. True Marvel of engineering.
when the physics problem says "ignoring air resistance"
Im just imagining inside of it is Dark Helmet from Spaceballs holding on for dear life shouting "My brains are going into my feet!'
Theres something so unfathomably funny about just staring at a beautiful landscape, only for less than half of a frame you see this weird metallic blip appear right infront of you with like zero motion to it.
We should all be thankful to the cameraman who is keeping up with the speed of ISS.
This is a simulation dude
@@Steve.780and that was a joke dude
The universe is indeed a simulation, yes.@@Steve.780
What was the cameraman flying to keep up. a tethered glider, maybe?!
@@Steve.780whooooosh….
The amazing thing is you actually scaled the timing, distance and speed for this video, good work

And the video stops just before entering Austria !
Are you a geography god?
while a bit expensive i find taking an iss to work very convenient
ISS lifespan seems to be coming to an end, thank you for the decades of dedication, ISS. Really amazed how so many NASA projects exceeded several times of their lifespan and provided so much more than we purposed them. Imagine JWT functioning for a few more decades, we'll discover so much that we've never known
Nasa project? It's called International Space Station for a reason.
@@TeaTimeee Well, basically they actually present you with SCAMS / HOAXES just as deceptive as the OP video here...yet nary a one of you seems to think, how about we go to their opponents and see if they have anything to say about WHY they do these things...are they masonic actors just lying to everyone such as what is claimed (by the opponents)..basically I will summarize it for you, THEY LIE ABOUT EVERYTHING. Yet you have been programmed to trust AND obey since you were little by staring at the TELL LIE VISION programming boob tube that whenever someone comes and tries to wake you up, you basically scream bloody murder because you enjoy your ignorance...you seem to think it is BLISS...yet just like with the big pharma debate recently, just KNOW there are two sides to the discussion...if you only have knowledge of ONE of those sides you are surely missing the FULL PICTURE...and as mentioned most people are so asleep/clueless that they even enjoy their utter ignorance. Yet remember YOU HAVE been told, so if you can read this and still be happy with being ignorant KNOWING there is much much more to the story than you are aware of, then what is stopping you from actually learning?
@@TeaTimeee fr
I was confused for a minute, then I realized that this is actually really cool, haven't seen it visualized like this.
We can all thank Robert Downey Jr, in his Ironman suit, for flying closely behind the ISS for these incredible videos
Cool stuff. Our sense of time on earth revolves around the rotation of the earth, so mph really doesn't apply in space because the time reference is relative to objects moving in space. But it's still fast. LOL
Crazy that it still would take 90 minutes to go around even though whole mountain ranges are flying by within seconds
0:30
And actually at this altitude it would take even less time.
Great video, keep up the good work mate👍
Yes
Gosh, I thought the simulation shows the same angular speed, rather than the same circumferential-tangetial speed. :D
Less time and a faster speed
Good video. It's a good illustration of what orbital space travel is like.
It doesnt exist, grow up
This really puts speed in perspective. The ISS moves nowhere CLOSE to the speed of light, but it looks like it’s jumping into Star Wars hyperspace moving like that. So wild
I know right? Compared to things moving at relativistic speeds, both the earth and the ISS in this video are basically standing still.
It’s insane speed of light is at 300,000 while the ISS is in one digit
Thanks for doing this man!! Something else that would be cool is looking at the different speeds of things like missiles and bullets. Could also do the speed of different planets and comets!!
What kind of blows my mind is that we've invented machines (rockets) that can go this fast, because of course all the ISS parts had to be launched up there into LEO. This forced perspective shows just how crazy insanely fast rockets can really go, and we've only been making them for barely more than half a century.
Well, being out of the atmosphere helps a lot in reaching those speeds, but it’s impressive nevertheless
There's a reason why more than 95% of a space rocket's weight at lift-off is fuel.
What blows my mind more is that cpu's can perform billions of operations per second and each transistor inside them is only a few times larger than an atom. One rocket during ww2 wouldn't mean much, but a modern cpu would change the entire course of the war.
@@puppergump4117 I believe the Turing machine was invented around WW2 and it was indeed game changing. It might not have been using tiny transistors, but it was capable of running nearly any algorithm and it changed the course of the war.
For reference, this is essentially just how fast it needs to go so that when it falls towards the earth, the earth curves away from it at that exact speed. If there was no air, it could do exactly as is seen in the video because that speed would be enough so that the ground is always falling away from the ISS at 9.8 meters per second.
I've always wondered what 17500 mph looks like! Also, I feel as though it could be even better in VR since you can experience the perspective and angular velocity firsthand. Great content, nonetheless!
I would actually like a full 90 minutes simulation experience at this speed along a great circle of the earth. Would be really fun to see!
Man, i love it when the ISS does a low altitude flyby
No sir, it doesn't , it can not do that, it's impossible, it's a big lie,
@@SharpObserver1A But you've seen it in this video
@@hansvonflammenwerfer2817 this is a simulation, it cant be possible beacause of drag force, thrust, friction and some other physics , the atmosphere does not allow an object, device, space shuttle or space station to travel at such a speed within our atmosphere, he would be torn apart, due to the various friction points of the ISS station this would be physically impossible, the video is a simulation for us to understand what it would be like if it were possible to see the path it takes at a height of 10000 feet. If you have doubts just google about >>space shuttle atmosphere reentry
Superman flys about this speed. Amazing.
Astronaut 1: These are some beautiful views
Astronaut 2: We’re approaching Himalayas….
This is SO FREAKING COOL! and very accurate too!
Not accurate at all actually.
Imagine how powerful the shock waves coming off the ISS would be!😱
Beautiful! You are sane, as opposed to insane aka using the degenerate colloquial phrase "off of."
@@linyenchin6773 I see nothing wrong with "off of."
@@linyenchin6773 🤓🤓
This crossed my mind too, but I concluded that the shockwave would be extremely short-lived, a tiny fraction of a second. After that, the whole thing would burn up and evaporate in the dense atmosphere. At this speed, even the air is like a concrete block.
@@rnzoli My comment was more hypothetical much like the video itself. I doupt the ISS could reach 100mph without running into serious integrity issues.
Honestly, what's even crazier than how fast it goes (which IS crazy), is that even at that speed it STILL takes 90 min to circle the earth... really puts into perspective how big the earth is...
Imagine climbing to the top of a mountain and taking a selfie, and then your phone gets stolen by a NASA satellite zooming past the mountaintop with someone hanging out of a window holding a fishing rod
WITH air resistance, that think would have turned into a red glowing fireball in a few seconds. Still VERY NICE to see for illustration how fast it goes. THANK YOU, great video!
Props to the incredible cameraman who managed to hang out behind the ISS and film it so smoothly and clearly despite its incredible speed and low altitude! Truly an amazing feat!
They actually used a camera drone called Hubble and flew behind it, still very impressive
I would like to see it go all the way around pole to pole. I bet it can't go that way.
They call me superman for a reason , and kept that camera very steady too , your welcome.
Better open a window to let all the smoke from the heat shield out.
@@aelux4179This wasn’t real footage 😢
I signed up for notifications and get them earlier in the day whenever there is going to be between a 3 to 7 minute sighting but when the sky is really clear it can be visible for more like 8 to 10 minutes. The first time that I ever saw it was by accident one early morning about 18 years ago watching a 6;00 AM meteor shower and I got so freaked out and started shaking because I thought it was a UFO due to the speed and the light from it never leaving your view from front to back or side to side, but after telling a genius guy at work about it when I got to work an hour later he confirmed the time and direction heading that I had observed it to put my mind at ease, I still try to watch it whenever I can even just 2 nights ago thinking wow it's moving over 16,000 mph and 250 miles up. I keep a downloaded complete points of the compass photo image on my phone and point it north so I can see all the in between points like NNW, NW, WSW, SSW, SW, SSE, etc as all of the sightings are usually listed that way from ---> to like that, instead of ever being a PLAIN simple N, E, S, or W.
According to Flat Derpers, NASSA already has a replica drone flying that fast at around the same altitude (and like most flatty measurements, the altitude height for such a drone has to change according to what law of physics and perspective, they are trying to contorot to.
I have seen the ISS on video before, but never knew it was this fast. Great job to the people who dedicated their whole life to get this awesome video to us!
how is this possible. If its low u wont see it bcs of how fast its going and if its high, u wont see it bcs of how small it looks.
its not this fast or this low.
@@risky_von3117 if its low itll burn up due to the air molecules hitting it at hypersonic speeds
@@texasfossilguy it is this fast, but not this low. it sits in low earth orbit and because theres is no air resistance or anything stopping it from moving it just makes a steady orbit around earth every 90 minutes
its basically free falling all the time..
That's very cool! I'd like to see this perspective change into the view from real orbit altitude.
10 hour loop of ISS gradually corkscrewing around the world with lofi is much needed
"Capcon this is ISS requesting permission to BUZZ THE TOWER."
This is cool, and it is an interesting way of kinda getting the real velocity of the ISS, although one physical note is that in any orbital trajectory u can only have a certain speed per orbit, if u change ur speed u are also changing ur orbit ( the ratio or distance to the center of the body u are orbiting, in this case Earth)
That is correct. If the ISS orbited at the altitude shown in the video, it would have a way greater speed, and it would only be able to do that if there were no atmosphere.
@@Kaiser58 It would need to accelerate only a little, as the orbital velocity is ~28 500 km/h at an altitude of 3 km
We need a 90 minute orbit Video of this. Would be so relaxing to watch
It's here: ruclips.net/video/xvFZjo5PgG0/видео.html
@@Tomislav_B. Haha
Cool! It's so fast. And in space it always looks so slow. Well, that proves again how big space realy is.😁👍
Looks way faster when you're looking at it from the ground then when you're looking at the ISS from the air😮
When the physics text book says ignore air resistance
0:36. Pretty sure it crashed into a few mountains there. ;-)
One time about 2009 I went out to see the ISS right after the shuttle had undocked. You could see the ISS, then the shuttle trailing along just behind.
Really makes you think about aliens and how fast they might be able to travel, and how we would barely even notice it
yooooo, quite interesting. A very scientifical explanation.
A 90-min video of one complete ISS orbit would be awesome! I don’t envy you having to render that though. Haha
He doesnt need to render its not an animation its a game he just need to record it and then uploa dit
This answers the question of what it must look like from inside of a flying saucer racing through the sky.
Now I need this in the microsoft flight simulator
This is so brilliant on so many levels; Now I want the 'full version' 90 Minutes from the perspective of the ISS. Weekly another route 😀
Girlfriend: i am alone at home now
Me: 0:08
I’ve seen it a few times in the uk, like a very fast, bright, quiet plane
"Hey lets watch the sun set"
"But its afternoon"
"wait a minute" 😂
We should all be thankful for the bravery of the cameraman who daringly flew on top of the ISS at such a low altitude just to give us this amazing footage
💯
stolen
😂😂😂
Probably unmanned drone was used. Maybe.
The iss could not fly inside our atmosphere it would burn up and get ripped apart.
