I figured it'd be more efficient to do a bunch of missions, bookmark their locations, and come back and salvage several mission sites at in a row. Couple questions:
- How long would I have after the mission is finished and turned in to go back and salvage the wrecks before they despawn?
- Also, do the mission NPCs respawn after a certain time?

No doubt the first reply answered your questions. But I think you may be interested in more of what can happen with a mission regarding respawn.
Nothing in a mission "deadspace" will respawn if you have completed the mission objective.
If you have not completed the mission objective the mission NPC (and all objects in space) will respawn. This respawn normally occurs during scheduled server downtime once every 24 hours. When someone talks about "farming" a mission for bounty, loot, &/or salvage this is what they are talking about. They stop short of completing the mission objective and then go back after downtime to do it again.
The only other time I've experienced mission respawn has been after random unscheduled server downtime where the server and data had to be reset due to some problem. |

Mission NPC's do respawn.
2.) is a lie
I have started Angels Extravaganza and had not had the time to finish it, i come back 2-3 hours later and i do the same pockets over and over again.
Brought in some nice isk, but it was largely annoying.

I have not experienced this yet with any mission I've gone back to. |

No, what I wrote is true. The OP was talking about after finishing the mission, so my answer stands. Of course if you don't finish the mission, and you come back after down time all the NPCs are re-spawned and you can run the mission again. It's called mission farming, and it was pointed out above.

#1 is incorrect, because it answers the wrong question. Wrecks disappear 2 hours after they have been created, not 2 hours after the mission has been completed.

^^ I was going to say this. I'm glad someone did. I've had wrecks disappear in front of me within minutes of completing a mission.
In my earlier days of level 4s (before I could fly a BS and my BC skills weren't great), I'd sometimes have to leave one of the longer missions after a few gates, go get my salvager, clean up the first few pockets and then return to complete the mission. Ahh those were the days when it took 5 hours to complete a mission - warping out, warping back, running out of ammo.
Now I just dual box a couple of BS and have it done in an hour - more ISK, but less fun.
