The space shuttle has to reenter the atmosphere at a specific angle if it gets it to vertical the space shuttle will burn up, if it is too shallow the space shuttle will bounce back off and will reenter space
Anna Shaw xxxx for seb my amazing brother this answer is for you
Vertical? We're talking about space, there isn't any vertical in space. What is your reference? How about, if it's perpendicular to the atmosphere. And the word is "too" not "to". If you are going to answer questions about technical subjects, at least be able to spell.

What space shuttle disintegrated upon re-entering the earths atmosphere?
Space Shuttle Columbia
What stops a space shuttle burning up?
The space shuttle is protected from burning up during re-entry by its heat shield, made of materials that can withstand the intense heat generated by friction with the Earth's atmosphere. This heat shield dissipates the heat away from the shuttle, allowing it to safely re-enter the Earth's atmosphere without burning up.
What temperature is the space shuttle when it re-enters the atmosphere?
+3,000 F.
Why do space shuttles heat up when they re-enter into the earths atmosphere?
When the shuttle goes from the vacuum of space and enters the earths atmosphere, it heats up because of simple friction. The friction is from the shuttle going so fast and hitting the atmosphere. Same reason you sometimes see meteor showers.

How long does the space shuttle take to return to earth?
From the time mission control gives the signal for the shuttle to re-enter and return to Earth, it takes about one hour for the whole process. The shuttle flies at 17,000 mph before the wheels hit the Earth.
