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.
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.
The first space shuttle to reach Earth's orbit was the Space Shuttle Columbia, which completed its maiden flight on April 12, 1981.

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.
No. It is in low earth 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.
No. The space shuttle can only reach low Earth orbit.
200-300 nautical miles depending on the mission
It takes about 8.5 minutes for a space shuttle to reach orbit and then rendezvous with the International Space Station, which orbits approximately 250 miles above Earth.
