Best Answer

The names of US space shuttles are:

Enterprise, Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, Endeavor.

The space shuttle generally refers to the American NASA spacecraft also called Space Transportation System (STS) and is the current U.S. manned spacecraft vehicle. The Russians did make one "shuttle" called Buran, although it had only one (unmanned) space flight in 1988 and destroyed in 2002.

The Enterprise was never flown in space. It was used to test the docking systems on the specially made 747 used to transport the shuttle from other landing sites back to Florida when the shuttle does not land at Cape Canaveral.
