High orbit, Gravity weakens as you move away from its source, and although less centripetal force is needed to maintain larger circlular paths at a given speed gravity weakens at a greater rate.
Yes, it's in a low orbit around the Earth.
No. That only applies to low Earth orbit. Geostationary satellites orbit beyond it.
A space shuttle is not designed with the capability to travel beyond Earth's orbit due to limitations in propulsion and fuel capacity. Additionally, the primary purpose of a space shuttle is to transport astronauts and cargo to the International Space Station and other low Earth orbit destinations, rather than deep space exploration.
The space shuttle traveled at an average speed of around 17,500 miles per hour (28,000 km/h) in low Earth orbit. This high speed was necessary to balance the force of gravity pulling the shuttle back toward Earth.
No. It is in low earth orbit.

A space vehicle designed to orbit the Earth slowly should be put into a low orbit. Low Earth orbit allows for slower orbital speeds compared to higher orbits, making it more suitable for vehicles designed to move slowly. Additionally, low orbit provides easier access for communication, resupply, and potential crew rescue missions.
Yes, it's in a low orbit around the Earth.
No. The space shuttle can only reach low Earth orbit.
Hundreds (if you count low orbit as space) a dozen if you coutn the Moon as space).
low-orbit (satellite)
It was locateed in low-earth-orbit.
An earth orbit that is lower to earth then both a medium and high earth orbit.
No. That only applies to low Earth orbit. Geostationary satellites orbit beyond it.

Additionally, the primary purpose of a space shuttle is to transport astronauts and cargo to the International Space Station and other low Earth orbit destinations, rather than deep space exploration.
No. The space shuttle is built for low Earth orbit, not moon landings.
