what is the name of the other two space shutles that have orbited earth? name both or and tell me how and why they did it.
The name of John Glenn's space shuttle when he first orbited the Earth in 1962 was Friendship 7.
One spacecraft that has orbited Earth is the International Space Station (ISS). The ISS orbits Earth at an average altitude of about 420 kilometers. It serves as a microgravity and space environment research laboratory where astronauts from different countries conduct scientific experiments.
Probably more than ten.
0 feet It was de-orbited years ago! Bottom of the sea!
Space shuttles and space stations are similar in that they are both used for space exploration and research. However, space shuttles are spacecraft designed for transport between Earth and space, while space stations are large structures designed for long-term habitation in space by astronauts. Additionally, space shuttles can return to Earth, while space stations remain in orbit.
Nobody has orbited space but some have orbited the earth and the moon.
Skylab, an American space station, orbited from 1973-1979

Yes, they can- and have already! Laikawas a Soviet space dog who orbited the Earth in 1957.
A dog orbited the earth as the first living thing to go out in space

John Glenn orbited the earth three times oFebruary 20, 1962 becoming the third American in space and the first American to orbit the Earth.
Skylab was a space station that orbited the Earth from 1973 to 1979. It is not the same as the International Space Station which is currently in operation.
