How fast does a space shuttle travel in earths atmosphere?
the history channal said around 17,880 mph for any rocket
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.
What are the advantages of a space shuttle when it goes into space or even when it is getting ready to do a launch into space?
the shuttle goes fast and when it is in space,it become less weight so it goes easier on the space shuttle.
Why must the space shuttle go so fast?
It has to move fast so it can escape gravity's pull on the shuttle.
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
