No, the space shuttle was designed for low earth orbit and generally orbits within 200-300 nautical miles of Earth.
The space shuttle orbits the earth at 18700 miles per hour at a height of 350 miles above the Earth.
The space shuttle orbiter orbits the earth. The solid rocket boosters are jettisoned within the earth's atmosphere, around two minutes after launch and the External Fuel Tank is jettisoned once in space.
