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.
