Usually Gliders are pulled behind another plane with a cable. Once they are flying in the air the glider will release the cable and glide on it's own.
A plane with no engine is a glider. They use the air currents to stay aloft.
A space shuttle is not a plane. It is similar to the design of a plane, but it is only powered when it goes up as a rocket. It comes down as a glider without power, however, the pilot or commander controls it using its control surfaces. It may be similar in the way it looks but it has protective heat plates that prevent it from burning up in the atmosphere.
