orbital speed of the spacestation is 4.7 miles per second at it’s current altitude or 16,900 miles an hour. The capsule will fire it’s engines to slow down via re-entry burn so it will be slower than 16900 miles as it drops into full re-entry phase. Still will be going fast enough to heat up until the atmosphere thickness slows the capsule enough to allow the deployed shoots to work...will be nerve wracking waiting until they are safely down.
