While usually mission control would perform such tasks and uplink the results, the Shuttle has an on-board computer for calculating burn sequences to reach orbital targets. This functionality is controlled via SPEC 34.

As of June 2016, the implementation in FG supports a quasi-Hohmann transfer computation. From a lower, reasonably circular orbit, item 28 calls a numerical trajectory solver which fits burn parameters to reach the target. The results are stored as PEG-7 targets and can directly be used in the MNVR display. Most other options to tweak the T1 and T2 targets are currently not supported.
