By the 2 solid rocket boosters on the sides, and the Liquid hydrogen/oxygen tank underneath the orbiter.
Space Shuttle Atlantis.
The second space shuttle to orbit the Earth was the Space Shuttle Challenger. It completed its first mission on April 9, 1983.
No. The Space Shuttle were built for near Earth obital missions.
You can't get to Jupiter using the Space Shuttle. The Shuttle is not designed to leave Earth's orbit (it doesn't have the thrust to reach Earth's escape velocity) and in fact flies at quite a low altitude compared to other satellites out there.
The first space shuttle to reach Earth's orbit was the Space Shuttle Columbia, which completed its maiden flight on April 12, 1981.
It could not, the shuttle cannot leave low earth orbit
Forces of Motion. As far as I have known, it is when the space shuttle leaves the earth, it is pushed upwards by the opposite side of the shuttle whenerer it is going to leave. Answered by: SAV

You can not see the space shuttle on Earth, but you can see it in a rocket!
No. No space shuttle was ever built to leave orbit around Earth. The New Horizons space probe, an unmanned spacecraft, flew past Pluto in July 2015.

No. The space shuttle can only reach low Earth orbit.
STS-1, launched April 12, 1981, returning to Earth April 14, 1981. Orbited the Earth 37 times.
At what altitude does the Earth's gravity no longer have an effect on the astronauts or the space shuttle?
