Jupiter is one of the four 'gas giant' planets. Unlike rocky worlds like Earth, Jupiter is composed almost entirely of gas. Inside this swirling ball of gas lies a small core of solid rock.
Jupiter is a 'gas giant', so it's not possible to land a ship on its surface. Travelling far below the clouds of this planet is not advised. Temperatures and pressures soon begin to rise. So far, no probes have survived over 150 metres below the surface of Jupiter.
It is not possible to land on Jupiter. It is made primarily from hydrogen & helium gases, with a rocky core consisting of heavier elements.

Can a space shuttle land on mars?
No. A meteorite is an object that has already come through the Earth's atmosphere from space. On the way down, they are called meteors. A space shuttle, whether above or below the atmosphere, would need to avoid meteors at all costs. Since meteors are just rocks on the way from space to Earth, a shuttle therefore could not travel to them. Two kinds of space objects that spacecraft "could" travel to are comets and asteroids. But the space shuttle is not the proper kind of vehicle for such explorations.
How long would it take to go to Jupiter in a space shottle?
It would take between 6-9 months to travel from Earth to Jupiter using current space shuttle technology, depending on the position of both planets in their orbits. The distance between Earth and Jupiter varies due to their orbits around the sun.
What was the first space shuttle to land on jupiter?
No space shuttle has ever been to Jupiter
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.

Does the space shuttle land automatically or do the astronauts use the controls to land it manually?
The Space Shuttle has to be landed manually.
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.
When will space shuttle land?
The last space shuttle landed July 21, 2011.
Who was the first person to land the space shuttle?
