a very long time.
average speed of the space shuttle orbiting the earth is around 17,000 miles per hour.
the distance from earth to Mercury is about 43,000,000 miles.
so traveling at 17,000 mph it would take about 2,529 hours or about 105 days to get to mercury.
I might be wrong.
What else can I help you with?
How long will it take a Space Shuttle to go from Earth to Mercury?
It can't. And there's no way to redesign it so that it can, all the shuttle can do is to go up to low Earth orbit and come back down.
How long would it take for a space shuttle to reach mercury?
A long time. Mercury is 48 million miles from earth, when the 2 planets are at there closest to each other. The shuttle travels about 2000 miles per hour. There fore the trip would take 24,000 hours or 1000 days that is 2.7 yrs.
How would an astronaut aboard a space shuttle go about dropping an object down to earth?
The astronaut would release the object outside of the space shuttle and let it fall towards Earth due to gravity. The object would follow a trajectory back to Earth's surface without the need for further propulsion.
How long would it take for a space shuttle to travel to Saturn?
long time compare to earth
What space shuttle will you use to get to Saturn?
The space shuttle is not capable of leaving low earth orbit, a rocket like what the Apollo missions used (although much bigger) would be required.

How long would it take for a space shuttle to reach space?
It could not, the shuttle cannot leave low earth orbit

Would a guitar work in a space shuttle that is in space?
I have known that it will not work in space while you are in the space shuttle. But it is a good thing that it works on earth but the bad thing is that it doesn't work in space. Answered by:SAV

Why does the space shuttle need tiles?
The tiles on the space shuttle form a heat shield. The shuttle enters the Earth's atmosphere at high speed, which creates very high temperatures that would burn up the vehicle if it was not protected.
How did people get the space shuttle in space?
The space shuttle was launched into space using a combination of solid rocket boosters and liquid fuel engines. The boosters provided the initial thrust needed to get the shuttle off the ground, while the main engines continued to propel it into orbit. Once in space, the shuttle would orbit the Earth until it was ready to re-enter the atmosphere and land back on Earth.
Why was Skylab abandoned?
It wasn't intentionally abandoned. It was originally thought that the Space Shuttle would be operational before Skylab fell to earth. The Space Shuttle would then raise Skylab into a higher orbit to be used by multiple Space Shuttle crews, but an overabundance of solar flares caused Skylab to fall to earth 2 years before it normally would have. Delays in the development of the Space Shuttle spelled the demise of Skylab.
Time it takes to get to Jupiter in a space shuttle?
You can't get to Jupiter using the Space Shuttle. The Shuttle is not designed to leave Earth's orbit (it doesn't have the thrust to reach Earth's escape velocity) and in fact flies at quite a low altitude compared to other satellites out there.
