No space shuttle was ever called Apollo. Apollo was the name of the 3rd American space program. The number one objective of the Apollo program was to send man to the surface of the moon and return him safely to Earth, before the end of the 60's. Five shuttles were built for orbital flight: Columbia, Discovery, Challenger, Atlantis and Endeavour. Columbia and Chanllenger both exploded for different reasons killing all 7 astronauts aboard each time. Two other shuttles were built for tests: Pathfinder and Enterprise. There are also Russian space shuttles Buran and Pitchka (Pitchka was 97% complet when the project was cancelled).
