It will go to space and come back to earth in 2 years.
It heats up a lot and becomes vey hot.
When a space shuttle enters the Earth's atmosphere, it experiences extreme heat and friction due to the high speeds it is traveling at. This creates a plasma sheath around the shuttle which can interfere with communications. The shuttle also begins to slow down due to atmospheric drag.

Because of the enormous amount of friction between Earth's atmosphere and the Space Shuttle.

The space shuttle reaches 17,850 mph before leaving earth's atmosphere.

I am pretty sure that a space shuttle is found in the thermosphere or mesosphere.
The second space shuttle to reach space was the Space Shuttle Columbia, STS-1, which launched on April 12, 1981.
The shuttle uses the atmosphere to slow itself down from orbital speed.
The space shuttle travels in the thermosphere layer of the atmosphere, which is the layer located above the mesosphere. This layer is where temperatures can reach very high levels due to its proximity to space.
To break the atmosphere and go into space easily.
Once a space shuttle launches, it ascends into space powered by its rocket boosters and engines. It travels to its designated orbit or destination, such as the International Space Station or to deploy satellites. After completing its mission, the shuttle re-enters the Earth's atmosphere, gliding back to a runway landing.
