How long is a typical Shuttle mission?
Typically a space shuttle mission lasts about a week, although a mission can last up to 10 days. However with the extended duration orbiter (EDO) pallet (A 15 ft diameter assembly of equipment) installed in the space shuttle's payload bay, a shuttle mission can last up to 16 days. The flaw with the EDO though is that it takes up weight and space in the shuttle's payload bay, meaning that the shuttle cannot carry as much cargo. A total of 14 space shuttle missions have used the EDO pallet, although it was destroyed by the Columbia accident on STS-107. The longest space shuttle mission was STS-80, which lasted 17 days and 15 hours. The shortest were STS-1 and STS-2, each lasting 2 days and 6 hours.
