No, the Space Shuttle cannot land on the moon. One of several reasons, it glides like an airplane, thus requires air and there is no air on the moon.

What is the name of the space shuttle to land on moon?

The space shuttle that landed on the moon was called Apollo. The Apollo missions were a series of manned missions conducted by NASA during the 1960s and 1970s, with Apollo 11 being the first to successfully land astronauts on the moon in 1969.


Did the NASA space shuttle really land on the moon?

No, the NASA space shuttle did not land on the moon. The space shuttles were designed for low Earth orbit missions and were not capable of making the journey to the moon. The Apollo missions were responsible for landing astronauts on the moon.


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.


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.

No space shuttle has landed on the moon. The craft would need ample landing space to do so. But even then, the shuttle could not LEAVE the moon, since the boosters needed to lift off would not be present.
