It depends what phase of the mission you're asking about. In orbit with the International Space Station, it's travelling over 17,000 MPH.
At Launch, T+30seconds it's travelling 500MPH/2miles in altitude. At T+1minute it's travelling over 980MPH/6 miles in altitude.
Around T+8minutes, MECO (Main Engine Cutoff), the shuttle has reached a speed 17,000MPH at 65miles in alt. More info can be found at http://www.NASA.gov/home/index.html
What else can I help you with?
How fast does the space shuttle travel during launch?
about 11.2 kilometers per second to leave earth it takes 5 kilometers per second to leave mars
How fast was the space shuttle Columbia?
The space shuttle Columbia had a maximum speed of approximately 17,500 miles per hour during its orbit in space.
How fast can a space shuttle travel?
A space shuttle can travel at speeds of up to 17,500 miles per hour (28,160 kilometers per hour) in orbit around the Earth.
How fast does a space shuttle move in space?
Space shuttles use the gravitational pull from planets to propel/ sling the shuttle with speeds of up to 14 miles per second. Due to the lack of friction, moving objects take longer to slow down and accelerate quicker.
How fast do the shuttle travel from earth to space?
The space shuttle traveled at speeds around 17,500 miles per hour to reach low Earth orbit. It took about 8.5 minutes for the space shuttle to reach orbit after launch.
How fast does a shuttle need to travel to get into space?
11 kilometers per second.
How fast does the space shuttle travel during launch?
about 11.2 kilometers per second to leave earth it takes 5 kilometers per second to leave mars
How fast was the space shuttle?
5000 km per/hr
How fast is the space shuttle endeavor?
All space shuttle vehicles orbit at a speed of 17,320 miles per hour.
How fast is a space shuttle per min?
it goes about 64387 miles

How fast does a space shuttle go when it takes off?
Any space shuttle takes of at 80 th 90 miles per hour that's fast
How fast does a space shuttle travel in speed?
A space shuttle can travel at speeds of up to 17,500 miles per hour (28,000 kilometers per hour) in orbit around the Earth.
How fast does a space shuttle fly?
A space shuttle can reach speeds of about 17,500 miles per hour (28,000 kilometers per hour) in low Earth orbit. This allows the shuttle to circle the Earth once approximately every 90 minutes.
