This one is less talked about even in forums, so let alone official publications. I searched around and there's this discussion on Stack Exchange: [1].
Should see if there's any reliable sources for citing. I think it's an interesting addition to the article. At least my first reaction to the fact sheet was "okay so where's the ground speed?" 海盐沙冰 / aka irisChronomia / Talk11:30, 2 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Because the distance from the center of the Earth to its surface is almost equal to the distance from the center of the Earth to ISS, the ground speed is very close to the orbital speed. (— 𝐬𝐝𝐒𝐝𝐬 — - talk) 20:50, 24 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I would like to propose changing the lead image of the article.
This image provides a clearer view of the current configuration of the ISS.And this picture is officially used more, such as Expedition posters. Red9870f (talk) 11:50, 13 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
