Original Note:
In space (at 550 km orbit) Mach numbers don't make sense as a measurement because they are defined as the ratio of an object's speed to the local speed of sound - and sound cannot propagate in the vacuum of space since there is no medium for sound waves to travel through. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mach_number
