The velocity of a space shuttle is 8 x 10^3 meters/seconds. Does that help?
Scientific notation - is simply 'shortening' a number - and raising it to a power. For example - instead of writing 10,000,000,000,000,000,000 - the scientific notation equivalent would be 1019 - which saves a lot of space !
Scientific notation takes up much less space ! consider the number 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 - it's much easier to write it as 1018 and it takes up less space on the page !
They use scientific notation because of the vast distances in space.
It is 8.9*10^-5 in scientific notation
It is "(scientific notation)".
During its final mission, the space shuttle Columbia was on a scientific research mission. One topic of study was microgravity.

There were 5. Space Shuttle Columbia (destroyed in 2003), Space Shuttle Challenger (destroyed in 1886), Space Shuttle Discovery, Space Shuttle Atlantis, and Space Shuttle Endeavour.
Distance in space is measured in 'light years' or in 'scientific notation'
The first space shuttle invented was the space shuttle enterprise.
Space Shuttle Endeavour was the final Space Shuttle built. It was built to replace Space Shuttle Challenger.
Newton's third law of motion
The Cargo bay
The space shuttle went into space and studied outer space.
