How fast does a space shuttle orbit the earth?
It flies over 17,000 mph.
What is the motion of space shuttle?
The shuttle is launched like a spacecraft, flies in space , earth orbit, but it lands like a plane on the runway, it is usable spacecraft.
Temperature where space shuttle of a space shuttle flies in orbit?
It is -121 to -156
Time it takes to get to Jupiter in a space shuttle?
You can't get to Jupiter using the Space Shuttle. The Shuttle is not designed to leave Earth's orbit (it doesn't have the thrust to reach Earth's escape velocity) and in fact flies at quite a low altitude compared to other satellites out there.
How long does the space shuttle take to return to earth?
From the time mission control gives the signal for the shuttle to re-enter and return to Earth, it takes about one hour for the whole process. The shuttle flies at 17,000 mph before the wheels hit the Earth.

How do you make a sentence using shuttle?
The space shuttle flies into space. It can travel to different planets.
What is the outer layer of the atmosphere in which the space shuttle flies?
the exosphere.
What type of mechanical way of producing heat occurs as the space shuttle flies at supersonic speed?
Friction (in Earth's atmosphere). Outside of Earth's atmosphere, there is no mechanical heating that is measurable.
Which vehicle that flies in the space?
Spaceship, space shuttle, space station, international space station, rocket, satellite
How does a space shuttel land on earth?
The Space Shuttle lands like a plane. First the space shuttle gets its landing trajectory and what AFB or Air Force Base to land at. The Space Shuttle can land at Cape Cod in Florida or at Edwards Air Force Base in California. The Space Shuttle then loops around the earth a few times and then turns around to face forward. Then the Space Shuttle goes into a De-Orbit Burn this is the approach to earth the Space Shuttle faces up ward at 60 degrees so the heat shield is facing down. The Space Shuttle is now flying at Mach 26 or 100,000 mph. Soon the Shuttle re enters the atmosphere producing the loud Double Boom while the shuttle flies over the pacific the US can often hear it. Soon the shuttle applies air brakes to slow down to Mach 2.5 or 2,500 mph. Then comes the next stage of approach the Shuttles Computers are shut down for landing as the Pilot lines up the Shuttle for the run way which is 22 at Edwards and 0 at Cape Cod the Shuttle makes one more Double Boom. Soon the Shuttle fly at the speed of a jet. Last comes the final landing the copilot calls out altitude and speed as the space Shuttle lines up jet escorts help the Shuttle land soon at about 2,000 ft the gear gets dropped down and the Space Shuttle lands at 250mph to slow down the Shuttle apply brakes a parachute and Air Brakes to stop on the Run Way steps help the Astronauts get out of the Shuttle. If the Shuttle lands at Edwards a modified Boeing 747 flys the Shuttle back to Florida.
What temperature is when the space shuttle flies in orbit?
please help me i have no idea!
What is the fastest airplane now?
For an aircraft that flies in atmosphere, you are looking for the SR-71 Blackbird. For in space, that aircraft is the space shuttle.
