The space shuttles have been retired and are no longer launched.
There is one point in the launch trajectory called "throttle back" where the shuttle is under maximum stress. If they did not throttle back the engines at this point and continued accelerating, the maximum design stress limits would soon be exceeded resulting in structural failure and loss of the vehicle. However less than a minute after "throttle back" the stresses drop due to lower atmospheric density and they "throttle up" again to maximum engine thrust on all engines (104% of original engine design thrust).

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.
Do all space shuttle launches occur in Florida US?
No, not all space shuttle launches occurred in Florida. While the majority of space shuttle launches took place at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, there were also some launches conducted from the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.
What happens to a space shuttle once it launches?
Once a space shuttle launches, it ascends into space powered by its rocket boosters and engines. It travels to its designated orbit or destination, such as the International Space Station or to deploy satellites. After completing its mission, the shuttle re-enters the Earth's atmosphere, gliding back to a runway landing.
How many shuttle launches have there been?
There have been 134 operational launches with one more planned launch. See related link for a full list.
How does a space shuttle launch into outer space?
The space shuttle is launched into Outer Space by having it attached to the rocket that launches up as well as the space shuttle and gradually the rocket falls apart and lands in the Pacific ocean. It often lands there. The space shuttle then continues its mission alone.

Will there be more space shuttle launches from Kennedy Space Center?
Yes. The final space shuttle launch is scheduled for April of this year.
Are there anymore space shuttle landings?
Unfortunately there are no more space shuttle launches or landings. The last space shuttle landing was by Space Shuttle Atlantis on July 21 at 5:57 a.m. EDT.
What is the schedule for the space shuttle launch?
Unfortunately, the Space Shuttle Program Has Been Retired, and All Remaining Shuttles Converted Into Museum Exhibits. There Are No Longer Any Space Shuttle Launches.
How long will it take for you to go to space in Pokemon sapphire?

Why are space shuttle launches being discontinued?
Space shuttle launches were discontinued due to safety concerns, high costs, and shifts in space exploration priorities. The space shuttles were designed in the 1970s and were becoming increasingly outdated and expensive to maintain. NASA shifted its focus to developing new spacecraft and fostering partnerships with commercial space companies for more cost-effective and sustainable access to space.
