What was the first space shuttle to reach Earth's Orbit?
Columbia
How fast does a space shuttle travel while in orbit?
The Shuttle must reach speeds of about 17,500 miles per hour to stay in orbit.
Why can't a space shuttle go outside out the earth's orbit?
The space shuttle is designed for orbital flight only. The shuttle only has enough fuel to reach an orbit of approximately 600 km high.
How long does it take the shuttle to reach orbit?
It takes around eight minutes for a space shuttle to reach orbit after taking off. Its average speed upon take of is 17,500 mph.
How long does it take the space shuttle to reach outer space from launch?
It takes about 8 minutes from launch for the shuttle to reach space. How is that for speed? Once in space, the space shuttle and the International Space Station orbit the Earth about 16 times a day. They are actually traveling faster than a bullet! That fast rate of speed along with Earth's gravity keep them in orbit around our planet
Can the space shuttle travel to the moon?
No. The space shuttle can only reach low Earth orbit.
What was the first space shuttle to reach Earth's Orbit?
Columbia
How long would it take for a space shuttle to reach space?
It could not, the shuttle cannot leave low earth orbit

Can the space shuttle reach the moon?
No, the space shuttle was designed for low earth orbit and generally orbits within 200-300 nautical miles of Earth.

How much time does it take for the space shuttle to reach orbit from launching?
depends where you launch from and where you go
What was the name of the first shuttle launched?
The name of the first space shuttle that was run through free flight simulation was Enterprise, but the first space shuttle to actually reach orbit was Columbia in 1981.
How long will it take a rocket to get into outer space from the earth surface?
The space shuttle takes 8 minutes to reach orbit.
How much thrust for space shuttle to break orbit?
The Space Shuttle is not capable of leaving Earths orbit.
