What else can I help you with?
When a satellite is placed into a higher orbit what happens to its period?
Its period increases
What is shuttle orbit?
A shuttle orbit refers to the trajectory used by spacecraft, particularly space shuttles, to travel between Earth and space. It typically involves launching into a low Earth orbit (LEO) before performing maneuvers to reach higher orbits or specific destinations, such as the International Space Station (ISS). The shuttle orbit allows for efficient re-entry and landing back on Earth after completing its mission in space.
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.

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.
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 is the first space shuttle sent into orbit?
Columbia was the first shuttle in to orbit on April 13, 1981

Does the space shuttle orbit the earth in what's called high orbit?
No. It is in low earth orbit.

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