Where is the hubble Space Lab in the night sky?
The Hubble Space Telescope (the HST or just the Hubble) is in earth orbit. Oh! You mean where in earth orbit! NASA is keeping an eye on it, and you can look over their shoulder by using the link provided.
What does orbit?
it in space
Path of one body in space around another is?
The circular path is known as an orbit.
What is the force that makes satellites orbit at the same height around the earth?
Gravity keeps satellites in orbit. The closer you are to the Earth, the faster you have to go to maintain your orbit. At low Earth orbit, the altitude of the Space Station, you make an orbit every 90 minutes. At the Moon's distance you need over 27 days to go around the Earth. In-between there is an altitude which matches the rate of the Earth's rotation. Many satellites orbit at this altitude.
What is parking orbit?
A parking orbit is a temporary orbit of a satellite or space craft. It is used prior to carrying out further procedures.
What is the height of the Hubble telescope?
The Hubble space telescope is in near Earth orbit at a orbital height of 559 km (347 miles)
Why does a space shuttle stay in orbit at the same height from the earth?
In order not to miss the window of return flight.
How long does it take to orbit around earth in space?
Orbital times vary as a function of the height of the orbiting vehicle or object. The higher its altitude, the longer it takes to make an orbit. The ISS and space shuttle are in low earth orbit and take approximately ninety minutes to complete one orbit.
How fast does an orbiting space shuttle go?
About 18,000 mph. The exact speed depends on the exact orbital height. If the orbit is not circular the speed will vary in different parts of the orbit.

What is the scientific name for eyes?
It is the Orbit like i orbit to space by Lauren Woodward
What is a workshop in space where astronauts can carry out experiments in space?
Spacelab ( not used now) and Columbus.
How do Space Aids in space Exploration?
a rocket powers the space station into orbit
What is the average speed of space debris orbiting the earth?
any debris at a height of a geostationary orbit will travel as fast as apporximately 7 kilometres a second
What does orbit?
it in space
What space station is still in orbit?
The International Space Station is still in orbit, and is still being constructed.
How much thrust for space shuttle to break orbit?
The Space Shuttle is not capable of leaving Earths orbit.
