How long does it take for the space shuttle to get to the moon?
The space shuttle does not travel to the moon. The Apollo missions used spacecraft, not space shuttles, to travel to the moon. It took the Apollo missions around 3 days to travel from Earth to the moon.
What was used before space shuttle?
Before the space shuttle program, NASA used various launch vehicles such as the Saturn rockets for the Apollo missions and the Space Transportation System for early spaceflights. These vehicles were designed for specific missions and did not have the reusable characteristics of the space shuttle.
What was the first space shuttle ever built?
The first space shuttle ever built was the Space Shuttle Enterprise. It was constructed as a prototype and test vehicle and never flew into space. Enterprise was used for approach and landing tests before the operational shuttle flights began with Columbia.
The first space shuttle?
The first space shuttle developed by NASA was the Space Shuttle Enterprise, which never flew in space and was used for atmospheric flight tests. The first space shuttle to reach space was the Space Shuttle Columbia, which launched on April 12, 1981.
What is shuttle orbit?
A shuttle orbit refers to the trajectory used by spacecraft, particularly space shuttles, to travel between Earth and space. It typically involves launching into a low Earth orbit (LEO) before performing maneuvers to reach higher orbits or specific destinations, such as the International Space Station (ISS). The shuttle orbit allows for efficient re-entry and landing back on Earth after completing its mission in space.
What is the name of a vehicle used for space travel?
* shuttle
What was used before the space shuttle to go in space?
The "Apolo" space capsules.

What was used to fly to space before a space shuttle?
Multi Stage Rockets.
Can you name the spacecraft used before the space shuttle?
The Apollo spacecraft.

Can a space shuttle be used twice?
Yes. All space shuttle orbiters have been used multiple times. Space Shuttle Discovery has launched on 36 missions as of March 2009 and is scheduled for a total of 39 missions before the program is retired.

Why is the Space shuttle main engine used on a space shuttle?
UUUHH...it's called a "space shuttle" main engine...why do you think?

How long does it take to get to the moon in a space shuttle?
The space shuttle is not designed to go to the moon and has never gone to the moon; it is strictly used for travelling to and from Earth's orbit (and has mostly been used to travel to the International Space Station). If the shuttle were for some reason flown to the moon, it would crash there, since it requires an atmosphere in order to land successfully. However, if it was your intention to fly the shuttle to the moon and crash, that could be done in about 3 days, in theory. I doubt that NASA would approve the mission.
What space shuttle did not fly in space?
Space Shuttle Enterprise did not fly in space, it was only a mock-up used for aerodynamics and gliding tests.
