There have been 5 space shuttles sent to space: Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour. The latter three of these remain in service. Challenger was destroyed during a failed launch in 1986, and Columbia broke apart upon reentry in 2003.

Another vehicle was built: Enterprise, which was used for atmospheric flight landing tests. While Enterprise was originally intended to be refitted for orbital flight, it was later determined to be too costly. Some people also consider the Pathfinder test article to be a real shuttle; it was a mock-up used to test shuttle transporter vehicles/cranes, and was never even considered for actual space flight.
