Jupiter is one of the four 'gas giant' planets. Unlike rocky worlds like Earth, Jupiter is composed almost entirely of gas. Inside this swirling ball of gas lies a small core of solid rock.
Jupiter is a 'gas giant', so it's not possible to land a ship on its surface. Travelling far below the clouds of this planet is not advised. Temperatures and pressures soon begin to rise. So far, no probes have survived over 150 metres below the surface of Jupiter.
It is not possible to land on Jupiter. It is made primarily from hydrogen & helium gases, with a rocky core consisting of heavier elements.

∙ 13y agoNo, the only spaceships that have ever landed anywhere is the moon. And the only place they have landed robots that take pictures (forgot what they are called) have only landed on mars. i don't know if that is the answer you were looking for but....yeaa

∙ 15y agoNo, the space shuttle has no means of leaving Earth's orbit and enough fuel to reach Jupiter in a reasonable amount of time.
Also, Jupiter is made almost entirely from gas, so there is no surface to land on.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoDefinitely not. There is no solid matter to land on. Eventually the spacecraft would be crushed by the pressure which increases toward the center of the planet. Jupiter has several satellites, including four large ones which a spacecraft could land on.

∙ 6y agoNo. For one thing, the space shuttle is not capable of interplanetary travel; it was only designed for low Earth orbit. Second, Jupiter has a very thick atmosphere that gradually transitions into a liquid like state at great depth due to increasing pressure. The interior is also extremely hot. A spacecraft that enters the atmosphere at orbital speed would burn up like a meteor. Descending at lower speed it would be crushed and melted by the intense heat and pressure of the interior.

∙ 6y agoNo. Jupiter doesn't have a surface to land on. One probe was sent to explore Jupiter's atmosphere, however.
Wiki User
∙ 7y agoNo space shuttle has ever been to Jupiter. The Space shuttle was never meant to be more than a glorified elevator, whose purpose was to lift stuff from Earth into orbit.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoNo, and at our present level of technology this is still a dream.

How many space missions have come to Jupiter and which ones and did they land or fly by?
2 jeepneys
How much does the Columbia space shuttle weigh?
the space shuttle weighed as much as roman
What was the first space shuttle to land on jupiter?
No space shuttle has ever been to Jupiter
Could you land a space shuttle on the planet Jupiter?
No. There are two reasons for this. First, Jupiter is a gas planet, so there is no surface to land on. Second, the space shuttle was made for low Earth orbit, not interplanetary travel.
What is the name of the space shuttle to land on moon?
there is no space shuttle that is able to land on the moon.
What space shuttle was the first to get close up pictures of Jupiter?
it wasn't a space shuttle it was a satellite and it was sputnik IV
What is the essentials you need to get to Jupiter?
a Space Shuttle and a air suit
Does the space shuttle land automatically or do the astronauts use the controls to land it manually?
The Space Shuttle has to be landed manually.
When will space shuttle land?
The last space shuttle landed July 21, 2011.
Where does the space shuttle land when space?
Most space shuttle missions have been to the International Space Station. The correct term would be to dock at the station, not to land there (since it is not located on land, but is floating in space).
Who was the first person to land the space shuttle?
The first shuttle that went into space was the Space Shuttle Columbia. It made a total of 28 missions. The shuttle was commanded by pilot John Young who was the first one to land it as well.
When the space shuttle prepares to land its engines are turn off how does the shuttle land without its engines?
It is the shuttle land like a normal glider?
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.
Have spaceshuttles been to Jupiter?
No space shuttle has been anywhere besides the space station - not even to the moon.
