Hubble stays in orbit around Earth by traveling at a speed of about 17,500 miles per hour, which allows it to counter the gravitational pull of Earth and maintain a stable orbit. It orbits at an altitude of around 340 miles above Earth's surface, completing a full orbit roughly every 97 minutes. Additionally, it occasionally uses its thrusters to adjust its position and trajectory as needed.
