The Columbia Space Shuttle spent a total of 15 days, 16 hours, and 34 minutes on its final mission before tragically disintegrating upon reentry on February 1, 2003.
The Columbia orbiter was 122.17 feet long. The entire Space Shuttle (which includes the external fuel tank and solid rocket boosters) is184 feet long. All space shuttles and orbitals seem to be the same length.
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.
Depends on the Mission, ussualy the space shuttle is up for about 3 days to a week at a timeSpace shuttle missions ranged from 3 to 17 days 15 hours.
Columbia was a Space Shuttle Orbiter. Space Shuttle Orbiters are 37.23 meters (122.17 feet) long, 17.27 meters (56.67 feet) high, with a wingspan of 23.79 meters (78.06 feet) and maximum weight of 2,041,166 kilograms (4.5 million pounds) at liftoff and 104,326 kilograms (230,000 pounds) at the end of the mission when returning to Earth.
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.

i really dont no

Depends on your speed. The space shuttle can be in space in about 8 minutes.
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.
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.
8 minutes for the shuttle to go to space
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.
It could not, the shuttle cannot leave low earth orbit
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.
