Not at the moment

NASA has no known plans of making and using space shuttles in the future. However, there are various other companies and agencies who are working their way toward shuttle-like vehicles. India's space program is currently testing prototypes of a much smaller shuttle, as is the US-based Sierra Nevada Corporation with its Dream Chaser space plane. The US Air Force uses small, unmanned space planes for reconnaissance. Finally, the ESA (European Space Agency) is funding projects to build spaceplanes.
