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.
How fast does a space shuttle go. 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. Typical low earth orbit re entry speeds are near 17 500 mph and the mach number m is nearly twenty five m 25. The orbiter is covered with ceramic insulating materials designed to protect it from this heat.
A space shuttle travels at or around 7 500 mph or miles per hour. How fast at take off does a space shuttle go. 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.
