The space shuttles were launched by liquid fuel engines along with solid fuel boosters to get them into orbit. That also provided the initial speed of over 17,000 mph that keeps them orbit without any additional use of the engines.
Once in orbit they used orbital maneuvering engines to change their orientation as well provide the slow down required to bring them back to Earth.
