The space shuttle took about 8.5 minutes to reach the International Space Station after launch. The shuttle travelled at speeds of around 17,500 miles per hour to reach the ISS, which is in low Earth orbit.
The first space shuttle to reach Earth's orbit was the Space Shuttle Columbia, which completed its maiden flight on April 12, 1981.
It takes around eight minutes for a space shuttle to reach orbit after taking off. Its average speed upon take of is 17,500 mph.
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.

No. The space shuttle can only reach low Earth orbit.

No space shuttle has ever been on a mission to Mars.
NASA's space shuttles were not designed for long space missions; the initial idea was to build shuttles to reach the Moon. The present-day space shuttle can only reach low Earth orbit. The aging shuttle fleet (approaching thirty years old) is due to be retired. The Orion spacecraft will carry the next major American space missions.
The shuttle rockets are not as powerful as the Saturn 5 rocket.
It could not, the shuttle cannot leave low earth orbit
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.

17,500 mph
It takes about 8.5 minutes for a space shuttle to reach orbit after launch. During this time, the shuttle accelerates to speeds over 17,000 miles per hour to overcome Earth's gravity and reach the necessary altitude. The shuttle then enters a stable orbit around the Earth.
