Time it takes to get to Jupiter in a space shuttle?
You can't get to Jupiter using the Space Shuttle. The Shuttle is not designed to leave Earth's orbit (it doesn't have the thrust to reach Earth's escape velocity) and in fact flies at quite a low altitude compared to other satellites out there.
What was the last space shuttle to orbit earth?
Space Shuttle Atlantis.
When did the first space shuttle go into space?
On April 12, 1981 the space shuttle Columbia was the first shuttle to orbit the Earth.
How does a space shuttle get to space and back to earth?
The Space Shuttle lands like a plane. When it gets to earth, there is a runway and it will land smoothly on the ground.
When rockets leave the space shuttle how do they not catch the shuttle on fire?
because there is no oxygen in space so fire can't burn the shuttle
How long would it take for a space shuttle to reach space?
It could not, the shuttle cannot leave low earth orbit
What are the forces like when a space shuttle leaves the earth?
Forces of Motion. As far as I have known, it is when the space shuttle leaves the earth, it is pushed upwards by the opposite side of the shuttle whenerer it is going to leave. Answered by: SAV

Can you see the shuttle in space?
You can not see the space shuttle on Earth, but you can see it in a rocket!
Is there a man passing Pluto in the fastest space shuttle?
No. No space shuttle was ever built to leave orbit around Earth. The New Horizons space probe, an unmanned spacecraft, flew past Pluto in July 2015.

Can the space shuttle travel to the moon?
No. The space shuttle can only reach low Earth orbit.
How do space shuttles get payload back to earth?
When the space shuttle goes through the atmosphere, the space shuttle can then by itself land safely because no fuel will be needed. You can use the atmosphere of the earth to slow the space shuttle down allowing it land safely with the payload. The payload will still be on the space shuttle because it won't be removed, only the equipment will be removed from the space shuttle. The shuttle has to do no work whatsoever when bringing it back to earth because it won't be needing fuel when landing on earth.
The space shuttle travels in the?
The space shuttle travels in low earth orbit (LEO), from 120 to 380 miles in space.
