How does the space shuttle return to earth?
The STS or Space Shuttle uses a glide recovery system (like an airplane) to return and land on the ground. In the end, it is assisted by a parachute (only to decrease the speed of the shuttle at landing.)When given the command from Houston, it will slam into Earth's atmosphere. This will create enough friction between the Space Shuttle and Earth's atmosphere to heat the Shuttle's belly to 3,000+ F. The Shuttle will then glide to it's landing runway in either California or Florida, and land like an airplane.
