Divide the distance by the speed.

The Viking Space Probes did not go to Jupiter. They were used to explore Mars.
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.
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.
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.
Earth is 588 million kilometers away from Jupiter. On a space shuttle, it would take about 2 years to reach Jupiter from Earth.

by travelling
The distance between Earth and Jupiter is 483 million miles. Travelling via a very fast space ship would land you on Jupiter in a little over two years. NASA's probes took between three to five years to reach Jupiter.
The space shuttle took about 8.5 minutes to reach the International Space Station after launch. The shuttle travelled at speeds of around 17,500 miles per hour to reach the ISS, which is in low Earth orbit.
The first space shuttle to reach Earth's orbit was the Space Shuttle Columbia, which completed its maiden flight on April 12, 1981.
No. The space shuttle can only reach low Earth orbit.
It takes around eight minutes for a space shuttle to reach orbit after taking off. Its average speed upon take of is 17,500 mph.
No space shuttle has ever been on a mission to Mars.
The shuttle rockets are not as powerful as the Saturn 5 rocket.
It could not, the shuttle cannot leave low earth orbit
