If you jumped off the ISS, how long would it take for your body to de-orbit?
If you jumped off the ISS, how long would it take for your body to de-orbit?
The question was raised in a recent .world news article comment https://lemmy.world/post/25766196
Depends how hard you jump, and in which direction
I read the ISS orbits at about 8km/s so I assumed the speed of a few m/s jump in any direction would be negligible but I really have no idea
How about perpendicularly?
