Does the ISS spin?

The ISS rotates about its center of mass at a rate of about 4 degrees per minute so that it will complete a full rotation once per orbit. This allows it to keep its belly towards the Earth. Because the Earth is rotating, the ISS doesn’t pass over the same places on Earth each orbit.

Why does the ISS not spin?

Science-fiction space stations simulate gravity by rotating. The International Space Station doesn’t spin because it’s used for low-gravity research. Creating artificial gravity, which comes with a number of technical constraints, would eliminate this unique asset.

What makes ISS move so fast?

The ISS is moving fast because it’s in orbital trajectory, in orbit about 380+ km high. The reason for this: it is continuously under ‘freefall ‘ around our planet. It is in orbit (and moving so fast) because of centrifugal force.
