After takeoff, the space shuttle ascends rapidly through the atmosphere, propelled by its main engines and solid rocket boosters. As it climbs, it passes through several phases, including Max Q, where aerodynamic pressure is highest, and eventually experiences booster separation, where the solid rocket boosters are jettisoned. Following this, the orbiter continues to ascend until it reaches orbit, where it then performs orbital maneuvers to stabilize and position itself for its mission.
