The Space Shuttle Discovery (STS-31) deployed Hubble into a circular orbit approximately 550 kilometres above the ground and at a 28.5 degree inclination to the Equator. The telescope whizzes around Earth at 28 000 kilometres an hour, taking just 96 minutes to complete one orbit of our planet.

Time to reach the Space Station But a decade forward thorough technological advancements, space shuttles reportedly reach the International Space Station in or under 24 hours.

The journey back to Earth is much quicker than the journey into space. A Soyuz trip to the space station takes around six hours from launch to docking. A return journey takes around half the time, at just over three hours to make it safely to the ground.

Originally Answered: How long does a spacecraft from Earth take to reach the space station? The Soyuz* (currently the only platform to transport humans) usually takes about 2 days to orient its orbit inline with the ISS so it can safely maneuver to dock. However, it has been done in as little as 6 hours.

How long does it take to travel to the Moon? It takes about 3 days for a spacecraft to reach the Moon. During that time a spacecraft travels at least 240,000 miles (386,400 kilometers) which is the distance between Earth and the Moon. The specific distance depends on the specific path chosen.

Light travels at approximately 186,282 miles per second (299,792 km per second). Therefore, a light shining from the surface of Mars would take the following amount of time to reach Earth (or vice versa): Closest possible approach: 182 seconds, or 3.03 minutes.

To achieve this speed, they traveled in paths which allowed them to use the gravitational pulls of objects in our solar system to increase their speed. It took these two spacecraft about 3 years and 2 months to reach the ringed planet of Saturn.

Although it may be one of the closest galaxies to our own, since the Andromeda Galaxy is 2.5 million light years distant it would take 2.5 million years to get there if (and it's a huge 'if') we could travel at the speed of light.

The total journey time from Earth to Mars takes between 150-300 days depending on the speed of the launch, the alignment of Earth and Mars, and the length of the journey the spacecraft takes to reach its target. It really just depends on how much fuel you're willing to burn to get there.

Hubble is best seen from areas of the Earth that are between the latitudes of 28.5 degrees north and 28.5 degrees south. This is because Hubble's orbit is inclined to the equator at 28.5 degrees. ... So northern parts of Australia have great access to seeing the HST and can catch the telescope flying right overhead.

It takes the shuttle approximately 8-1/2 minutes to get to orbit. And if you think about it, we're accelerating a 4-1/2 million pound system from zero miles per hour to its orbital velocity of 17,500 miles per hour in those 8-1/2 minutes. So it's a heck of a ride for the astronauts.

Asked by: Matt B, Glastonbury To get to the Moon would take a little longer though, since it's 400,000km (250,000 miles) away – around 10 times the circumference of the Earth. So it would take as long as driving around the world 10 times – just under six months.

How long would it take to get to the Andromeda Galaxy? Forget it! Although it may be one of the closest galaxies to our own, since the Andromeda Galaxy is 2.5 million light years distant it would take 2.5 million years to get there if (and it's a huge 'if') we could travel at the speed of light.

at 3,000 light years, or 9.46 trillion kilometers x 3,000, and flying at 59,000 mph, it would take 481 billion years to reach the black hole.

Travel Time It is traveling away from the Sun at a rate of 17.3 km/s. If Voyager were to travel to Proxima Centauri, at this rate, it would take over 73,000 years to arrive. If we could travel at the speed of light, an impossibility due to Special Relativity, it would still take 4.22 years to arrive!

In short, at a maximum velocity of 56,000 km/h, Deep Space 1 would take over 81,000 years to traverse the 4.24 light-years between Earth and Proxima Centauri. To put that time-scale into perspective, that would be over 2,700 human generations.
