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.

How much time will it take space shuttle to reach the nearest star from?
A space shuttle traveling at its maximum speed of about 17,600 miles per hour would take over 73,000 years to reach the nearest star (Proxima Centauri) located about 4.24 light years away from Earth. This journey is far beyond the capabilities of current space travel technology.
How long did it take the space shuttle to get to Neptune?
There have been no space shuttle landings on Neptune. It would be impossible to land on Neptune for two reasons: 1 - Neptune is a gas giant 2 - Neptune is freezing cold, electronic equipment would freeze and malfunction
How long would it take to fly a space shuttle to Uranus?
It would take approximately 10-12 years for a space shuttle to reach Uranus with current technology and space travel capabilities. The actual time can vary depending on the specific trajectory and alignment of the planets.
How long does it take to get to Pluto from the US on a space shuttle?
It would take a space shuttle several years to reach Pluto from the US. The exact duration would depend on the speed of the spacecraft and its trajectory. Current technology would require several decades to make such a journey.
What would happen if a space shuttle goes into a black hole?
If a space shuttle were to approach a black hole, the extreme gravitational pull would likely cause it to be stretched and ripped apart by tidal forces, a process known as spaghettification. As it enters the event horizon, it would be unable to escape and would inevitably be consumed by the black hole, with all information contained within the shuttle lost to the singularity.
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 a space shuttle to reach space?
It could not, the shuttle cannot leave low earth orbit
How long does it take the space shuttle to reach the space station?
The space shuttle took about 8-10 minutes to reach orbit. It would then take around 6 hours for the space shuttle to catch up with the space station for docking.
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.
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.
How long would it take to get to Saturn in a space shuttle if it were possible?
It would take about 6.7 years to travel from Earth to Saturn in a space shuttle using current technology. This estimate includes the time needed for trajectory planning, acceleration, deceleration, and accounting for the varying distances between Earth and Saturn as they orbit the Sun.
How long does it take the space shuttle to enter space?
The Space Shuttle typically took about 8.5 minutes to reach space after launch. It would generally reach an altitude of around 100 kilometers (62 miles), which is considered the boundary between Earth's atmosphere and space.
Which space ship would you go on to get to space?
Any! but i would seggest a space shuttle Any! but i would seggest a space shuttle
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 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).
How long would it take to reach our neighbouring star by space shuttle?
At a top speed of around 30,000 Km per hour, in theory it would take around 160,000 years to reach Proxima Centauri. In practice, the Space Shuttle is not able to break out of Earth orbit to start such a journey.
