Space Shuttle Atlantis' last flight was in 2011. So from 2011, she did 5 missions. Here they are in order from oldest to most recent;
STS-122
STS-125
STS-129
STS-132
STS-135
It was the 135th and final launch of the Space Shuttle Program. The program lasted 30 years. The spacecraft that launched was Space Shuttle Atlantis.
The space shuttle was used from 1981 and will be retired in 2010.
Columbia was the first space shuttle sent into space on April 12, 1981, exactly 20 years to the day after Yuri Gagarin became the first man in space.
No. Yuri Gagarin never flew in the Space Shuttle at all. He was a Soviet Cosmonaut and was the first man in space. The craft he flew was a Vostok Capsule, the Soviet one-man craft that was used for their first two space flights. The Space Shuttle is an American space craft and didn't fly until 1981, just over 20 years after Gagarin's flight and 13 years after his death during a training flight in 1968. The Soviets did eventually build their own version of the Shuttle, calling it the Buran. It flew only once, unmanned, in 1988, just before the collapse of the USSR. It was seriously damaged in 2002 when the hanger it was stored in collapsed during reconstruction.
It was the Columbia, the first space shuttle to be flown into space more than twenty years earlier.
Two and a half years. :~)

The first space shuttle to launch to space and return was space shuttle Columbia on the 12th of April 1981, only 20 years after Yuri Gagarines historic voyage to space.
It takes five years for a space shuttle to be built for a mission. It can cost an estimated amount of $2 billion.
16 years
