i think you mean atmosphere they normally go about 200,000 miles an hour when leaving earths atmosphere

How much thrust for space shuttle to break orbit?
The Space Shuttle is not capable of leaving Earths orbit.
What speed does the space shuttle have to reach to escape earths gravity?
17,500 miles per hour puts the shuttle in orbit. BUT the gravity is still there. I'm fact there is about 90% of the gravity while the shuttle is on the ground. That great rate of speed is required to keep the shuttle from falling back to earth. At that speed the shuttle is basically falling around the planet.
What was the last space shuttle to orbit earth?
Space Shuttle Atlantis.
How do astronauts travel in space and escape earths atmosphere?
Astronauts travel in space and escape earth's atmosphere by wearing gravity resistant suits and traveling to outer space in a space shuttle that is insulated against the elements.
How they stay in orbit in space without crashing back to earth or flying off into space?
they are able to stay in orbit because of the earths gravitaional pull which keeps the shuttle in orbit so that it will not crash there is a theory that if the earths gravity changed the slightest bit everything we know would change

How does a space shuttle escape the earth orbit?
The shuttle never leaves Earth orbit, it simply goes into orbit and then returns. Moving to a higher orbit requires additional speed and manuevering, as when visiting the ISS.
What is the name of the first space shuttle that traveled to earths orbit?
Columbia was the first shuttle to enter orbit. This was the same shuttle that was destroyed during re-entry in January 2003, with the loss of seven astronauts.
Why boosters are used in space shuttle?
Well they are used because without them the space shuttle would not be able to have enough force to escape the earths gravity when it was being launched.

After a shuttle is launched into orbit what happens to gravity?
There is no gravity in space but the shuttle stays in orbit because of the Earths gravity and inertia. The inertia keeps it going in a circular motion. In space the Earth's gravity is strong enough to hold something in orbit but not strong enough to pull it to Earth's surface.

Temperature where space shuttle of a space shuttle flies in orbit?
It is -121 to -156
How far is the shuttle from earth when in orbit?

When did the first space shuttle go into space?
On April 12, 1981 the space shuttle Columbia was the first shuttle to orbit the Earth.
