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.

How much time it takes to reach out-space to the space shuttle?

It takes about 8.5 minutes for a spacecraft to reach outer space from the surface of the Earth. This is known as the "space border," where the Earth's atmosphere transitions into the vacuum of space. Once a spacecraft crosses this boundary, it is considered to be in outer space.


How long will it take to get to the International Space Station?

It takes 2 days. You might think that that's a long time for a space shuttle to go to the space station. Especially when you know that it takes about 2 minutes for the space shuttle to go into space. But here's why: The space station is orbiting the earth, and so will the space shuttle when it goes into space. If it goes faster though, it will fly away from the earth's atmosphere and get lost in outer space. So the Space Shuttle goes slightly faster so it will catch up, but not too fast so that it will fly off into outer space. That's why it takes 2 days.


How long does it take for a shuttle to get to the moon?

The Space Shuttle does not go to the moon. It only orbits the Earth.


How long does it take to get a space shuttle into orbit?

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.


How long does it take to get the to moon by space shuttle?

It takes approximately 3 days for a space shuttle to reach the moon from Earth. This timeline includes the launch, travel time, and lunar orbit insertion.

How much time does it take to fly to the space?

It takes about 8 minutes from launch for the shuttle to reach space. Wow? The space shuttle and the International Space Station orbit the Earth about 16 times a day. They are actually traveling faster than a bullet and together with the Earth's gravity keep them in orbit around our planet
