The orbiter's velocity on orbit is approximately 25,405 feet per second (17,322 statute miles per hour). In order to return to earth, the shuttle fires its Orbital Manuevering Engines (OMS) in the direction opposite to its orbit . It only slows down by about 200 m.p.h. in order to begin "falling" back to earth.

the shuttle goes fast and when it is in space,it become less weight so it goes easier on the space shuttle.
It has to move fast so it can escape gravity's pull on the shuttle.
Any space shuttle takes of at 80 th 90 miles per hour that's fast
17,500 mph.
around 1334 mph

All space shuttle vehicles orbit at a speed of 17,320 miles per hour.
I believe that when a space shuttle is traveling at its fastest it goes about 17,321 miles per hour.
If you mean the space shuttle, it reaches 17,500mph
Approximately 18,000 mph.
A space shuttle travels at or around 7,500 MPH or miles per hour
The space shuttle has a reentry speed of about 17,000 miles per hour.
