Depends on the Mission, ussualy the space shuttle is up for about 3 days to a week at a time
Space shuttle missions ranged from 3 to 17 days 15 hours.
The construction of the Space Shuttle program began in the 1970s, and the first shuttle, Columbia, was completed in 1979. From initial design concepts to final construction, it took about 10 years to build each space shuttle.
It takes about 8.5 minutes for a space shuttle to reach space after launch. The space shuttle accelerates to a speed of about 17,500 miles per hour to overcome Earth's gravity and enter space.
A Space Station monitors the Space Shuttle being launched into space and so forth. And a Space Shuttle, is like a rocket they send into space. So the difference is a space shuttle is a rocket, and a space station is a building.
The space shuttle took about 8-10 minutes to reach orbit. It would then take around 6 hours for the space shuttle to catch up with the space station for docking.
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.
The space shuttle Endeavour (not Endeavor) is 56 meters long. The space shuttle Endeavour was built as a replacement shuttle after Challenger exploded in 1986.
It could not, the shuttle cannot leave low earth orbit
Depends on your speed. The space shuttle can be in space in about 8 minutes.

Two and a half years. :~)

From launch, just a few minutes.
