Where is the space shuttle Atlantis going?
Atlantis is going to the Hubble Space Telescope. This will be the final servicing mission and no spacecraft will travel to Hubble after this.
Is voyager an American space shuttle?
No, Voyager is not an American space shuttle. Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 are twin spacecraft launched by NASA in 1977 on a mission to study the outer planets. They are not designed for human travel like the space shuttle.
What spaceship was launched in 1972?
Apollo 17 was launched, from the Kennedy Space Center
When did Julie Payette first travel to space?
Her first spaceflight was on the STS-96 mission, launched May 27, 1999. She was also on STS-127, launched July 15, 2009.
How does a shuttle get into space?
A shuttle, like the Space Shuttle, gets into space by being launched into the atmosphere with the help of powerful rockets. The rockets provide the necessary thrust and speed to overcome Earth's gravity and carry the shuttle into orbit around the planet. Once in orbit, the shuttle can maneuver and travel to its destination in space.
Where is the space shuttle Atlantis going?
Atlantis is going to the Hubble Space Telescope. This will be the final servicing mission and no spacecraft will travel to Hubble after this.
Could you land a space shuttle on the planet Jupiter?
No. There are two reasons for this. First, Jupiter is a gas planet, so there is no surface to land on. Second, the space shuttle was made for low Earth orbit, not interplanetary travel.
Is voyager an American space shuttle?

How long it would it take a space traveler to reach Jupiter?
It depends on how fast he's traveling. Pioneer 10 was launched in March 1972 and passed Jupiter in December 1973... a travel time of 21 months. Galileo was launched in October 1989 and did not reach Jupiter until December 1995, over six years later.
In what year was Sky Travel launched?
Sky travel was first launched in 2003. It showed extensive programs about travel.
How long does it take to travel from Earth to Jupiter?
In 2008, NASA launched its New Horizon's spacecraft. It took 13 months to reach Jupiter. This was a huge improvement over NASA's first attempt to send a rocket to Jupiter. The Galileo craft took 6 years to make the same trip!
What is the name of the space shuttle in which laika traveled in?
Laika actually did not travel on an American Space Shuttle, but rather on a Russian satellite called Sputnik 2. Sputnik 2 (with Laika in it) was launched on November 3, 1957 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Russia on top of an R-7 rocket.

Which planet did the pioneer space probe go to?
The Pioneer probes, specifically Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11, were launched to explore Jupiter and Saturn. Pioneer 10 became the first spacecraft to travel through the asteroid belt and make a successful encounter with Jupiter, while Pioneer 11 flew by Jupiter and Saturn.
How many space crafts have been launched to Jupiter?
Jupiter has been visited by 8 spacecraft. These were Pioneer 10, Pioneer 11, Voyager 1 and 2, Galileo, Ulysses, Cassini and New Horizons. The very first mission to explore Jupiter was Pioneer 10, an American spacecraft launched in 1972. This was a true pioneering mission in that, before it left Earth, no one knew whether spacecraft could travel through the asteroid belt between here and Jupiter and survive the trip.
