same way everything orbits everything else in space.
spacecraft are boosted up to orbital velocities and the appropriate altitude, physics does the rest.

The Soviet Union takes credit for sending the first man into orbit around the earth. However, since, Yuri Gagarin did not land in his capsule, it technically does not count as an official orbit. Still, no one disputes that Gagarin did in fact orbit the earth. The first person to orbit the earth and land in his spacecraft was John Glenn of the United States.
