We orbit the sun, which in turn orbits the center of the galaxy.
Some well-known space orbiters include the Hubble Space Telescope, the International Space Station (ISS), and the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour are still operational.

Because of budgets, the aging orbiters, and unfortunately.. Politics.
Six were made, but only five ever went into space.
Atlantis, Endeavor, Discovery are the only Space Shuttles currently operating in NASA's Space Shuttle program (Challenger and Columbia were both lost in explosions).
Space landers are better than orbiters in certain contexts because they can conduct detailed, on-site analyses of surface materials and conditions, providing direct data that orbiters cannot obtain. Landers can deploy instruments to study geology, search for signs of life, and conduct experiments in situ. Additionally, they can gather high-resolution images and data from the surface, allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of planetary environments. This capability is particularly crucial for missions focused on astrobiology and resource utilization.
The space shuttle Discovery has flown the most times of all the space shuttle orbiters.
there is one cirlcling the moon and other places. dont look at me im only 13
Some ways things are transported in space is by spaceship, satellites, orbiters, and similar objects.
