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.


What is the largest space shuttle?

The Space Shuttle orbiter, with a length of 122.17 feet and a wingspan of 78.06 feet, was the largest space shuttle. The Space Shuttle program operated a total of five orbiters: Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour.


How long does it take to get to Saturn with a space shuttle?

A space shuttle traveling at its maximum speed of about 17,500 miles per hour would take around 5.5 years to reach Saturn, which is about 746 million miles away on average. This estimation does not account for factors such as orbital mechanics and launch windows, which are important considerations for interplanetary travel.


How long would it take for the space shuttle to reach Saturn?

The space shuttle propulsion system isn't powerful enough to get to the moon let alone Saturn. The space shuttle gets up to a speed of about 4 miles per second maximum which is enough to then coast in earth orbit for many days but not enough to get more than a few hundred miles up. That's why it is so easy to see from the ground - it's not that far up. Using existing technology Nasa has estimated a manned trip to mars would take about 3 months. Saturn at its closest would be about 10 times farther than mars. So to get there in less than 30 months would require an even more powerful rocket than planned for mars.

Where would you find a space shuttle in the atmosphere?

I am pretty sure that a space shuttle is found in the thermosphere or mesosphere.


Can you go and see black holes with a space shuttle?

No. The spac shuttle does not go beyond low Earth orbit. To see a black hole would require interstellar travel, which is not possible with current technology and might never be possible.

How long would it take for a space shuttle to reach saturn?

At the Shuttle's maximum speed of about 30,000 km/hr, it would take more than 16 years to reach Pluto. The "New Horizons" spacecraft was launched by NASA in 2006 and reached a new record velocity for spacecraft, more than 58,000 km/hr. It was further accelerated by a gravity assist from Jupiter in 2007. Even so, it will be June, 2015 before it reaches Pluto, a total mission time of 9 1/2 years.


Is gravity acting on a person inside the space shuttle?

yes. How else would the space shuttle stay in orbit?


How long would it take the space shuttle to reach Saturn?

The space shuttle is not designed to leave low earth orbit; it cannot even make it to the moon within it design peramaters. Spacecraft in general can make it to Saturn within 2 years, although that depends on where the rest of the solar system is, if "gravity assist slingshots" can be used and many other factors. A manned mission would also have to consider the same factors for a return trip to earth. Assuming a route was found that it would only take 2 years in and 2 years back, that route may only be available one time every 25 years (as an example).
