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 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.

The main difference is that a manned Mars mission is a great deal longer.

What space shuttle analyzed surface of mars?
The Mars rover
Has a space shuttle taken photos of mars?
Astronauts aboard the Space Shuttle may well take photos of Mars as personal souvenirsif they have time, but the photos would have very little scientific value.The Space Shuttle operates at about 0.0005 percent of the smallest possible distance between Earthand Mars. The Shuttle astronauts don't get appreciably closer to Mars than you do in your kitchen.If additional imaging of Mars is required, it might be acquired by the Hubble Space Telescope, or bythe two rovers currently operating on the surface of Mars.
How fast would a space shuttle fly to mars and back?
1,000,0000 miles an hour
Can you use a space shuttle to get to Mars?

What is the latest space shuttle that took off from earth to mars name it?

Did a space shuttle landed on mars yet?
No - and it never will. It was not designed to go to Mars.
Can the space shuttle take the heat on gravity entry of mars?
The heat of entry is not caused by gravity; it is caused by resistance by the atmosphere. Since the atmosphere of Mars is much thinner than Earth's there would be less heating on entry. So yes, the space shuttle could probably withstand the heat. There would be another problem, though. In the final stages before landing on Earth, the space shuttle flies in for a landing much like an ordinary airplane. The atmosphere of Mars is too thin to support such flight, so the shuttle would simply crash.
