Key speeds of Apollo 11
- At its fastest, near Earth reentry: about 39,715 km/h (24,678 mph).
- During the main cruise toward the Moon after the big translunar burn, many explain the flight as being on the order of “over 24,000 mph (about 39,000 km/h)” while coasting through space.
These huge speeds are what let Apollo 11 cover roughly 380,000 km between Earth and Moon in about three days during its 1969 mission.
