At the Shuttle's maximum speed of about 30,000 km/hr, it would take more than 16 years to reach Pluto. The "New Horizons" spacecraft was launched by NASA in 2006 and reached a new record velocity for spacecraft, more than 58,000 km/hr. It was further accelerated by a gravity assist from Jupiter in 2007. Even so, it will be June, 2015 before it reaches Pluto, a total mission time of 9 1/2 years.
It could not, the shuttle cannot leave low earth orbit
The space shuttle would get ripped apart and would be destroyed because of the strong gravity difference (the nose would get pulled on by gravity harder than on the tail).
There have been no space shuttle landings on Neptune. It would be impossible to land on Neptune for two reasons: 1 - Neptune is a gas giant 2 - Neptune is freezing cold, electronic equipment would freeze and malfunction
No. A meteorite is an object that has already come through the Earth's atmosphere from space. On the way down, they are called meteors. A space shuttle, whether above or below the atmosphere, would need to avoid meteors at all costs. Since meteors are just rocks on the way from space to Earth, a shuttle therefore could not travel to them. Two kinds of space objects that spacecraft "could" travel to are comets and asteroids. But the space shuttle is not the proper kind of vehicle for such explorations.
The shuttle that would put the Hubble into orbit finally launched on April 24, 1990.
it would take 7 years 8 months traveling by rocket at 7 miles per second when it is closest.
It could not, the shuttle cannot leave low earth orbit
long time compare to earth
The space shuttle is not capable of leaving low earth orbit, a rocket like what the Apollo missions used (although much bigger) would be required.
3 years if you are going at 17 km/sec
Any! but i would seggest a space shuttle Any! but i would seggest a space shuttle
At a top speed of around 30,000 Km per hour, in theory it would take around 160,000 years to reach Proxima Centauri. In practice, the Space Shuttle is not able to break out of Earth orbit to start such a journey.
The Space shuttle cannot go beyond low earth orbit, but assuming you were traveling at the shuttle's orbital speed of 17,600 mph it would take approximately 7 months to reach the sun (the nearest star to earth), and approximately 160,000 years to reach Proxima Centauri, the nearest star to the sun.
The space shuttle propulsion system isn't powerful enough to get to the moon let alone Saturn. The space shuttle gets up to a speed of about 4 miles per second maximum which is enough to then coast in earth orbit for many days but not enough to get more than a few hundred miles up. That's why it is so easy to see from the ground - it's not that far up. Using existing technology Nasa has estimated a manned trip to mars would take about 3 months. Saturn at its closest would be about 10 times farther than mars. So to get there in less than 30 months would require an even more powerful rocket than planned for mars.
All the Space Shuttles are the same size, but if your asking for the biggest rocket, that would be the Saturn V (five) that took America to the moon and was the base for skylab.
The Andromeda Galaxy is 12,904,531,200,000,000,000 miles away and the space shuttle orbits at 18,000 mph so to travel to the Andromeda Galaxy in the space shuttle would take 81.8 billion years which is around 18 times the currrent age of the universe!!!
I am pretty sure that a space shuttle is found in the thermosphere or mesosphere.
first u open the package then reach your hand in then put it in your mouth, chew and swallow
