About 18,000 mph. The exact speed depends on the exact orbital height. If the orbit is not circular the speed will vary in different parts of the orbit.
18000
It can go at bannanas
17,000 mph
The space shuttle needs to go fast in order to reach orbit around the Earth. By going fast, the shuttle can overcome the gravitational pull of the Earth and enter into a stable orbit where it remains in space. This speed is necessary to counteract the pull of gravity and maintain a continuous state of freefall around the Earth.
At least 17,500 MPH which is the speed required to stay in orbit.
The purpose of the Columbia space shuttle was to go into space
It can go a little faster than 18,000 miles per hour. So slow compared to what the universe can throw at it.
the shuttle went into space because it launched the Hubble space telescope.
It takes 2 days. You might think that that's a long time for a space shuttle to go to the space station. Especially when you know that it takes about 2 minutes for the space shuttle to go into space. But here's why: The space station is orbiting the earth, and so will the space shuttle when it goes into space. If it goes faster though, it will fly away from the earth's atmosphere and get lost in outer space. So the Space Shuttle goes slightly faster so it will catch up, but not too fast so that it will fly off into outer space. That's why it takes 2 days.
It was designed to fly in space, and its first mission was another test of the space shuttle.
It takes approximately 3 days for a space shuttle to reach the moon from Earth. This timeline includes the launch, travel time, and lunar orbit insertion.
If a space shuttle travels at 17,500 (mph) (highest recorded time so far) well; you work it out!
