Best Answer

The Space Shuttle isn't capable of going to the moon, and has never done it.

The Shuttles operate in low earth orbit, typically between 200 and 300 miles

above the surface depending on the mission.

Several STS (shuttle) missions have delivered parts, supplies, and people to the

International Space Station, in orbit at altitudes between 200 - 242 miles.

The Shuttle mission to service the Hubble Space Telescope was a rarity, at an orbital

distance of 350 miles.

The moon is located more than 240,000 miles from earth, more than 600 times

farther than the shuttle has ever operated.
