The Space Shuttle typically cruised at an altitude of around 200 to 400 kilometers (approximately 124 to 248 miles) above Earth, depending on its mission profile. This altitude allowed it to operate effectively in low Earth orbit, facilitating satellite deployments, scientific research, and the construction of the International Space Station. During its re-entry phase, the shuttle would descend from this cruising altitude to safely return to Earth.
What else can I help you with?
In which layer you find satellites and space shuttles?
Satellites and space shuttles are found in the exosphere layer of the Earth's atmosphere. The exosphere extends from an altitude of about 600 km (373 miles) upwards, and is where most man-made satellites orbit the Earth. Space shuttles operate both within and beyond the exosphere during their missions.
Names of space shuttles first used in 1980?
The space shuttles that were first used in 1980 were Columbia and Challenger. Both space shuttles were part of NASA's Space Shuttle program and conducted various missions until the Challenger disaster in 1986.
How many space shuttles does NASA have?
Currently NASA have three space shuttles Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavour.
Where did the space shuttles launch from?
Cape Canaveral, Florida, Kennedy Space Center.
Which layer do Space shuttles orbit in?
Space shuttles typically orbited in the lower part of the thermosphere, at altitudes ranging from about 200 to 600 kilometers (approximately 124 to 373 miles) above Earth's surface. This region is characterized by increasing temperatures and decreasing atmospheric density. The specific orbital altitude allowed the shuttles to conduct various missions, including satellite deployment and scientific research.
What is the cruzing altitude for a jet plane?
Cruzing altitude is for long distances 10,000 feet to 45,000 feet. For short distances 1,000 feet to 10,000 feet.
In which layer you find satellites and space shuttles?

The exosphere extends from an altitude of about 600 km (373 miles) upwards, and is where most man-made satellites orbit the Earth. Space shuttles operate both within and beyond the exosphere during their missions.
What are the names of space shuttles being built?
NASA space shuttles
What energy is made from space shuttles?
Space shuttles use energy, not make it
How do shuttles and stations get into space?
Stations are built in space; Shuttles use rocket boosters.
Where does the Canadian Space Agency launch shuttles from?
no place, nobody has space shuttles anymore
Are the Space Shuttles going to fly again?
It is not expected that the Space Shuttles will fly again.
Why do you have space shuttles?
The question is a little moot, since we don't have space shuttles any more.
Do shuttles use nuclear fuel?
If you mean space shuttles, the answer is no.
Names of space shuttles first used in 1980?

How many space shuttles existed in 2011?
4 Space Shuttles existed in 2011. Including the test vehicle, Space Shuttle Enterprise. Space Shuttles that actually went into space? 3. Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour.
How many space shuttles does NASA have?
Currently NASA have three space shuttles Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavour.
