This means that objects in small orbits travel faster than objects in large orbits. The graph shows how the orbital speed of a planet changes with its distance from the Sun.

Orbital maneuvering, also known as deep-space maneuvering, enables propulsion systems to alter the spacecraft's orbit. While ...

This is because the speed of an orbiting object is related to the height of its orbit, so when the spacecraft is closer to the Earth than the ISS, it is travelling faster, so in theory it could ...
