It is kept cool by the heat shields.

About four years ago the shuttle Columbia had her heat shields damaged during flight and broke up about 40 miles above Earth, killing all 7 crew.

The space shuttle is supplied for maintaining a safe orbit a suitable distance above the atmosphere for a few days while awaiting an opportunity to land at one of several sites "weather permitting". Once it enters the atmosphere it is essentially a glider committed to land where it will with limited guidance potentials and virtually no options.
