How long does it take for the space shuttle to return from the space station?
The space shuttle typically took about 2 days to return from the space station to Earth. This allowed for a gradual re-entry process and ensured a safe return for the astronauts.
How long will it take to get to the International Space Station?
It takes 2 days. You might think that that's a long time for a space shuttle to go to the space station. Especially when you know that it takes about 2 minutes for the space shuttle to go into space. But here's why: The space station is orbiting the earth, and so will the space shuttle when it goes into space. If it goes faster though, it will fly away from the earth's atmosphere and get lost in outer space. So the Space Shuttle goes slightly faster so it will catch up, but not too fast so that it will fly off into outer space. That's why it takes 2 days.
How long does it take for the International Space Station to go round the Earth once?
it takes at least 24 hours for the international space station to go around the world once
