Where is the space shuttle Atlantis going?
Atlantis is going to the Hubble Space Telescope. This will be the final servicing mission and no spacecraft will travel to Hubble after this.
Which layer of the atmosphere does the space shuttle travel in?
the space shuttle travel in the trophosphere.
How has space shuttle travel revolutionised space travel?
Well for starters we are actually able to get into space with a space shuttle...
How do space shuttle get into space?
space shuttle orbiters are launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. They must not only travel the ~250 miles to reach "space", they must accelerate to over 17,000 mph to maintain orbit around the Earth. The shuttle orbiter uses its 3 main engines along with a pair of solid rocket boosters to do this.
Before the space shuttle what was used to travel of space?
All space travel is in rockets - it is just their shape and size that varies - that includes the shuttle.
Where is the space shuttle Atlantis going?
Atlantis is going to the Hubble Space Telescope. This will be the final servicing mission and no spacecraft will travel to Hubble after this.
Could you land a space shuttle on the planet Jupiter?
No. There are two reasons for this. First, Jupiter is a gas planet, so there is no surface to land on. Second, the space shuttle was made for low Earth orbit, not interplanetary travel.
How long it would it take a space traveler to reach Jupiter?
It depends on how fast he's traveling. Pioneer 10 was launched in March 1972 and passed Jupiter in December 1973... a travel time of 21 months. Galileo was launched in October 1989 and did not reach Jupiter until December 1995, over six years later.
Which layer of the atmosphere does the space shuttle travel in?
the space shuttle travel in the trophosphere.
In what year was Sky Travel launched?
Sky travel was first launched in 2003. It showed extensive programs about travel.
How has space shuttle travel revolutionised space travel?

How long does it take to travel from Earth to Jupiter?
In 2008, NASA launched its New Horizon's spacecraft. It took 13 months to reach Jupiter. This was a huge improvement over NASA's first attempt to send a rocket to Jupiter. The Galileo craft took 6 years to make the same trip!
What is the name of the space shuttle in which laika traveled in?
Laika actually did not travel on an American Space Shuttle, but rather on a Russian satellite called Sputnik 2. Sputnik 2 (with Laika in it) was launched on November 3, 1957 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Russia on top of an R-7 rocket.
What year did Voyager 1 travel to Jupiter?
The Pioneer 11 probe was launched on, April 6, 1973.Last contact with the probe was November 1995.

If you were to travel to Atlantis what would you travel in?
in a submArine boat thing like in spongebob!!
How many space crafts have been launched to Jupiter?
Jupiter has been visited by 8 spacecraft. These were Pioneer 10, Pioneer 11, Voyager 1 and 2, Galileo, Ulysses, Cassini and New Horizons. The very first mission to explore Jupiter was Pioneer 10, an American spacecraft launched in 1972. This was a true pioneering mission in that, before it left Earth, no one knew whether spacecraft could travel through the asteroid belt between here and Jupiter and survive the trip.
