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.

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.


How long would the space shuttle take to get to the constellation Orion?

The constellation Orion is about 1,344 light-years away. Since the space shuttle travels at a maximum speed of around 17,500 miles per hour, it would take millions of years to reach Orion. It is currently not feasible for a space shuttle to travel that distance.


How long will it take to reach the Andromeda galaxy by space shuttle?

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!!!


What is a space shuttle's MPG?

The space shuttle does not utilize traditional fuel sources like gasoline, so it does not have a miles per gallon (MPG) rating like a car would. Instead, the space shuttle uses a combination of solid rocket boosters and liquid fuel to reach orbit.
