The Space Shuttle typically cruised at an altitude of around 300 kilometers (approximately 186 miles) during its missions in low Earth orbit. This altitude allowed it to conduct various scientific experiments, deploy satellites, and service the International Space Station. The shuttle's orbit could vary slightly depending on the mission requirements, but it generally operated within the range of 200 to 600 kilometers.
