To achieve orbit the shuttle must accelerate from zero to a speed of almost 28 968 kilometers per hour 18 000 miles per hour a speed nine times as fast as the average rifle bullet.
How fast does a space shuttle go. Shuttle atlantis launches with both the main engines and solid rocket boosters operating. A space shuttle travels at or around 7 500 mph or miles per hour. Because it is moving at about 17 000 mph 28 000 km h the orbiter hits air molecules and builds up heat from friction approximately 3000 degrees f or 1650 degrees c. The exact speed depends on the shuttles orbital altitude which normally ranges from 190 miles to 330 miles 304 kilometers to 528 kilometers above sea level depending on its mission.
Typical low earth orbit re entry speeds are near 17 500 mph and the mach number m is nearly twenty five m 25. The chief characteristic of re entry aerodynamics is that the temperature of the flow is so great that the chemical bonds of the diatomic molecules of the air are broken. Like any other object in low earth orbit a shuttle must reach speeds of about 17 500 miles per hour 28 000 kilometers per hour to remain in orbit.
