Phillips, Expedition 11 NASA ISS science officer and flight engineer, testifies via video screen before the House Subcommittee on Space and Aeronautics chaired by Rep. Ken Calvert (R-Calif.), as he orbited Earth onboard the International Space Station (ISS) at a speed of five miles a second. Phillips was approximately 220 statute miles above Earth, but his radio transmissions were routed to a Tracking and Data Relay Satellite (TDRS) in geostationary orbit at an altitude of about 22,300 miles.
