How does a space shuttle escape the earth orbit?
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.
What is the first space shuttle sent into orbit?
Columbia was the first shuttle in to orbit on April 13, 1981
After a shuttle is launched into orbit what happens to gravity?
There is no gravity in space but the shuttle stays in orbit because of the Earths gravity and inertia. The inertia keeps it going in a circular motion. In space the Earth's gravity is strong enough to hold something in orbit but not strong enough to pull it to Earth's surface.
What was the last space shuttle to orbit earth?
Space Shuttle Atlantis.
What is the second space shuttle to orbit the earth?
The second space shuttle to orbit the Earth was the Space Shuttle Challenger. It completed its first mission on April 9, 1983.
Does the space shuttle orbit the earth in what's called high orbit?
No. It is in low earth orbit.

When was the first space shuttle put into orbit?
April 12 1981. The shuttle Columbia.
How does a space shuttle accelerate in space?
By reducing its velocity and dropping to a lower orbit. Objects in low orbit travel around the earth faster due to the orbit's smaller circumference. Conversely, it slows down by increasing its velocity and ascending to a higher orbit with a greater circumference.
What happens when a space-shuttle launches?
When a space shuttle launches, the main engines ignite to lift the shuttle off the ground. Once it gains enough altitude, the solid rocket boosters are released. The shuttle then continues its journey into space using its main engines until it reaches orbit.
