Artists concept of a space shuttle entering Earth orbit
Artists concept of a space shuttle entering Earth orbit. The Space Shuttle reveals a belly covered with thousands of individual thermally protective silica tiles, scorched and charred from numerous reentries of past missions.
Nine minutes after launching from NASAs Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the Space Shuttle shuts down its engines, sheds its massive external fuel tank, and enters freefall 60 miles above the Atlantic ocean. Traveling upside down at 16, 700 miles per hour, the Shuttle has already put over a thousand miles between itself and the launch tower. If uncorrected however, the current trajectory will bring the orbiter back to Earth somewhere halfway around the globe. In order to propel the Shuttle to its final orbit, anywhere from 116 and 600 miles high, the two Orbital Maneuvering System thrusters (the smallest nozzles near the tail) will fire until the target altitude is reached

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an artist's concept of a space shuttle gracefully entering Earth orbit. The image reveals the awe-inspiring sight of the Shuttle's belly, adorned with thousands of individual thermally protective silica tiles that bear witness to its numerous reentries from past missions. Just nine minutes after launching from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the Space Shuttle shuts down its engines and elegantly sheds its massive external fuel tank as it enters freefall 60 miles above the vast Atlantic Ocean. Traveling upside down at an astonishing speed of 16,700 miles per hour, the Shuttle has already left behind over a thousand miles between itself and the launch tower. However, if left uncorrected, this trajectory would bring the orbiter back to Earth somewhere halfway around our globe. To propel it towards its final destination—an altitude ranging from 116 to 600 miles—the two Orbital Maneuvering System thrusters near the tail will ignite until reaching their target altitude. This visually stunning artwork perfectly captures both the technological marvel and sheer beauty of space exploration. It invites us to contemplate humanity's journey into outer space and appreciate our ability to venture beyond our blue planet into unknown realms. With no people present in this image, we are reminded that these incredible feats are achieved through human ingenuity and determination.
