Can a space shuttle land on mars?
No. A meteorite is an object that has already come through the Earth's atmosphere from space. On the way down, they are called meteors. A space shuttle, whether above or below the atmosphere, would need to avoid meteors at all costs. Since meteors are just rocks on the way from space to Earth, a shuttle therefore could not travel to them. Two kinds of space objects that spacecraft "could" travel to are comets and asteroids. But the space shuttle is not the proper kind of vehicle for such explorations.
What are comets and meteors made of?
Comets and meteors are made of rocks and boulders same as on earth. But since they are in space for a long time, they might have some differences, little differences.

What is a meteor comprised of?
Meteors typically travel at high speeds of 30,000 mph. This can be intimidating since they are mostly comprised of dust and rock. This hard rock like substance tend to be smaller then asteroids since they are almost burnt up by the time they reach earth. Meteors and asteroids are not the same thing.
How did meteorology get started?
Meteorology - or the study of weather and the atmosphere - has been around in different forms since Ancient Greece. For example, in 350 BC, Aristotle wrote Meteorology, and is therefore by some considered to be the founder of meteorology. Additionally, the Greek scientist Theophrastus compiled a book on weather forecasting, called the Book of Signs. The work of Theophrastus remained a dominant influence in the study of weather and in weather forecasting for nearly 2,000 years, until meteorology matured in the 19th century with the help of new tools and methodology.
