Six air-worthy shuttles have been built; the first orbiter, Enterprise, was not built for space flight, and was used only for testing purposes. Five space-worthy orbiters were built: Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour. Challengerdisintegrated 73 seconds after launch in 1986, and Endeavourwas built as a replacement. Columbia broke apart during re-entry in 2003.
