Endouver has a max cargo capacity of 55,250 pounds in its 60 by 15 ft cargo bay. This is representative of all US Space Shuttle orbiters.
Different orbiters have slightly different capacities, as some are heavier than others. External Tank types can also have an impact; some tanks are lighter than others. Lighter tanks can lift more weight.

How much did the space shuttle cost?
1.7 billion dollars.
How does a space shuttle land on the moon?
It doesn't. The space shuttle was designed to land on a planer with atmosphere, and the moon hasn't got one. It doesn't carry enough fuel to get it there. The shuttle was also made to be reused, but needed a fair amount of work to be turned around. And there's none of that on the Moon, which would make it a one-way trip.
Why was the space shuttle program so important to the success of the hubble space telescope?
Many reasons. For one, the telescope was started and designed specifically with the space shuttle in mind. It was launched on a space shuttle, and only the space shuttle's ability to carry astronauts and capture satellites with the robotic arm made the correctional repairs possible. Several servicing missions by space shuttles have upgraded and replaced vital parts to extend the telescope's life and keep it in orbit. After the Columbia disaster, the space shuttle and telescope's futures were both in question. If the space shuttle never existed, we wouldn't have the Hubble space telescope either.
