John Glenn made only one space flight ,and it was of three orbits.
John Glenn made three orbits around Earth during his historic space flight on February 20, 1962.
3 times, because 3 goes into 18 and 51.
Mr. Glenn circled the globe three times during his first flight.
Sputnik 1, the first artificial Earth satellite, completed 1,440 orbits around the Earth during its mission, which lasted from October 4, 1957, to January 4, 1958.
The International Space Station makes approximately 16 orbits around Earth per day, taking about 90 minutes to complete each orbit.

On February 20, 1962, NASA astronaut John Glenn flew the Friendship 7 mission becoming the third American in space and the first American to orbit the Earth circling the earth three times.

John Glenn. John Glenn, Jr. circled Earth in 1962 on the Mercury 6 space mission, becoming the first American to make a complete Earth orbit. He also served as U.S. Senator to Ohio (1975 - 1999)
Alan Shepherd was the first American to be launched atop a rocket. The mission was not intended to place him in orbit, only to bring him back safely on a sub-orbital trajectory. The mission was successful. John Glenn, now a US Senator from Ohio, was the first American to be launched, successfully injected into earth orbit, make several complete orbits, and return safely to earth.
MEO (Medium Earth Orbit), HEO (High Earth Orbit), and GEO (Geostationary Orbit) are all circular orbits. Each of these orbits have specific altitudes and characteristics that make them ideal for different types of satellites and missions.
Sputnik 1, the first artificial Earth satellite, completed 1,440 orbits around the Earth during its mission, which lasted from October 4, 1957, to January 4, 1958.

There are basically three types of orbits.* Sun Synchronous Orbits * Polar Orbits * Geosynchronous Orbits There are variations on these types. Visit related link below.
