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 long does it take the space shuttle to reach outer space from launch?
It takes about 8 minutes from launch for the shuttle to reach space. How is that for speed? Once in space, the space shuttle and the International Space Station orbit the Earth about 16 times a day. They are actually traveling faster than a bullet! That fast rate of speed along with Earth's gravity keep them in orbit around our planet
How much time does it take for the space shuttle to reach orbit from launching?
depends where you launch from and where you go
How long does it take the space shuttle to reach space stations?
The space shuttle took about 8.5 minutes to reach the International Space Station after launch. The shuttle travelled at speeds of around 17,500 miles per hour to reach the ISS, which is in low Earth orbit.
How fast does a space shuttle go?
A space shuttle can reach speeds of up to 17,500 miles per hour (28,000 kilometers per hour) during launch and re-entry into Earth's atmosphere.
When is the final space shuttle launch?
The final shuttle launch takes place in July 2011.
What was the first space shuttle to launch in space?

What was the name of first space shuttle to launch in 1987?
The first shuttle launch was April 12, 1981. It was called STS-1
Does a shuttle launch create energy?
A shuttle launch does not create energy. Instead, it expends stored energy from its fuel sources to propel the shuttle into space.
How long does it take to get a space shuttle into orbit?
It takes about 8.5 minutes for a space shuttle to reach orbit after launch. During this time, the shuttle accelerates to speeds over 17,000 miles per hour to overcome Earth's gravity and reach the necessary altitude. The shuttle then enters a stable orbit around the Earth.
How long does it take the space shuttle to enter space?
The Space Shuttle typically took about 8.5 minutes to reach space after launch. It would generally reach an altitude of around 100 kilometers (62 miles), which is considered the boundary between Earth's atmosphere and space.
