UUUHH...it's called a "space shuttle" main engine...why do you think?
The first space shuttle developed by NASA was the Space Shuttle Enterprise, which never flew in space and was used for atmospheric flight tests. The first space shuttle to reach space was the Space Shuttle Columbia, which launched on April 12, 1981.
Space Shuttle Enterprise did not fly in space, it was only a mock-up used for aerodynamics and gliding tests.

Yes, the space shuttle was a spacecraft used by NASA to send astronauts and cargo into space. The space shuttle program ended in 2011. Today, different spacecraft, such as SpaceX's Crew Dragon and Boeing's Starliner, are used to transport astronauts to space.

Apollo 13 was not a Space Shuttle in any sence, as it was not a reusable space craft.
The acronym used to label Space Shuttle missions is STS, which stands for Space Transportation System. Each Space Shuttle mission is identified by STS followed by a mission number.
Generally space shuttles are not used to launch satellites as it is very costly to launch a space shuttle. Rockets with automated systems place satellites in orbit as opposed to a manned shuttle.
