According to NASA’s website and a video produced in 2013, it takes about 3 days from initial launch to reach the International Space Station. However, that same year, a Russian Soyuz vessel made the journey in under 6 hours.

The russians have the record for fastest time to reach the international space station. They did it using their Soyuz space craft in a record time of 3 hours and 3 minutes. They were even 4 minutes ahead of the calculated time to reach. This was a manned flight and took even less time than previous space crafts carrying just supplies.

First of all, the Space Shuttle was never designed for voyages like that. No Shuttle

ever went to the Moon, and none ever got much more than a few hundred miles up

off the Earth.

The Space Shuttle achieved orbital escape velocity when it launched ... about

25,000 miles per hour. IF it could maintain that speed, and IF it could travel to

the sun in a straight line, then it could be there in only 155 days !

If you think you might also like to come back, now you're talking a major trip !

If you just turned right around and came straight back, again in a straight line,

then the whole trip is up around 10 months now.

The space shuttles never went as high has "medium Earth orbit"; they were in LOW Earth orbits. It took about an hour to get established in orbit.

The shuttles have now been retired, and will never go into orbit again.

Depending on the exact geometry of the Shuttle's orbit when it launches, it takes about two days for the Shuttle to reach the ISS.

How long would it take to get to the nearest star in a space shuttle?

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.


How long does it take to travel from the Sun to Earth?

Light takes 8 minutes to make the trip. The space shuttle could do it in about 7 months, assuming that it didn't melt on the Sun end of the trip.


What is a space shuttle protected by?

the shuttle has some sort of protective paint which protects the hull from the nuclear particles the sun releases into space.


How long does it takes to get to the sun?

In a car travelling 140 km/h it would take you 123 years. A space shuttle going at ~288000 km/h would take you about a month.


How long would it take for a space shuttle to travel to mars?

How long it takes a spacecraft to reach Mars depends on the changing distances between Mars and Earth as they orbit the sun, and other factors. Trips are usually planned for when Mars will be closest to Earth; the shortest is about three months. None of NASA's Space Shuttle fleet are capable of making the trip, and the remaining shuttles are due to be retired.

How long would it take to get to Neptune from Mars in a space shuttle?

This is problematic as neither planet is stationary and both revolve around the Sun at different speeds. Additionally, one would have to take in the traveling speed of the craft, its ability to maintain that speed, its payload of fuel, whether it is intended to be a one way trip, and a myriad of other variables.


How long does it take people to fly to the sun from Jupiter?

Well, people by themselves obviously cannot achieve that, so what you're really asking is how long would it take a space craft to travel the distance between Jupiter and the Sun. There is no one definitive answer -- it depends entirely at what speed the space craft or object was travelling at!
