About 350 kilometres (220 mi) above the surface of the Earth.
The Hubble Space Telescope (the HST or just the Hubble) is in earth orbit. Oh! You mean where in earth orbit! NASA is keeping an eye on it, and you can look over their shoulder by using the link provided.

The circular path is known as an orbit.
Height is measured in foot and inch. Centimeter can also be used.
Gravity keeps satellites in orbit. The closer you are to the Earth, the faster you have to go to maintain your orbit. At low Earth orbit, the altitude of the Space Station, you make an orbit every 90 minutes. At the Moon's distance you need over 27 days to go around the Earth. In-between there is an altitude which matches the rate of the Earth's rotation. Many satellites orbit at this altitude.
The height of the typical space shuttle orbit is around 300 kilometers (186 miles) above the Earth's surface. This height allows the shuttle to orbit within the Earth's atmosphere yet still be in microgravity conditions.
The Hubble space telescope is in near Earth orbit at a orbital height of 559 km (347 miles)
In order not to miss the window of return flight.
About 18,000 mph. The exact speed depends on the exact orbital height. If the orbit is not circular the speed will vary in different parts of the orbit.
Spacelab ( not used now) and Columbus.
Orbital times vary as a function of the height of the orbiting vehicle or object. The higher its altitude, the longer it takes to make an orbit. The ISS and space shuttle are in low earth orbit and take approximately ninety minutes to complete one orbit.

The Space Shuttle Columbia carried the Spacelab into orbit during the STS-9 mission, which launched on November 28, 1983. This mission was the first dedicated Spacelab flight and included experiments to investigate the effects of weightlessness on humans and various scientific studies.
