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.

How long will it take to get to the International Space Station?
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.
How fast does a space shuttle have to go to stay in orbit?
About 17,500 miles per hour.
How fast does a space shuttle go in mph when it is in space?
At least 17,500 MPH which is the speed required to stay in orbit.
