What is the height of the shuttle orbit?
The height of the typical space shuttle orbit is around 300 kilometers (186 miles) above the Earth's surface. This height allows the shuttle to orbit within the Earth's atmosphere yet still be in microgravity conditions.
What was the last space shuttle to orbit earth?
Space Shuttle Atlantis.
What is the second space shuttle to orbit the earth?
The second space shuttle to orbit the Earth was the Space Shuttle Challenger. It completed its first mission on April 9, 1983.

The first space shuttle to reach Earth's orbit was the Space Shuttle Columbia, which completed its maiden flight on April 12, 1981.
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.
Does the space shuttle orbit the earth in what's called high orbit?
No. It is in low earth orbit.
Can the space shuttle travel to the moon?
No. The space shuttle can only reach low Earth orbit.
Which layer of the atmosphere does the space shuttle orbit the earth?
Thermosphere
How fast did the space shuttle orbit the earth?
17,500 mph
Did the space shuttle ever land on the moon?
No. The space shuttle is built for low Earth orbit, not moon landings.
The space shuttle travels in the?
The space shuttle travels in the Earth's orbit, typically at an altitude of around 250 miles above the Earth's surface. It orbits the Earth at a speed of approximately 17,500 miles per hour, allowing it to counteract the pull of gravity and remain in orbit.
