they only built one and it only made one unmanned flight, then they retired it reason unknown.
All the shuttles: Enterprise (Not Flown into space) Columbia Challenger Discovery Atlantis Endeavor
Some of the space shuttles that have been used in space programs around the world include NASA's Space Shuttle fleet (e.g. Discovery, Atlantis, Endeavour), the Soviet Union's Buran, and China's Shenzhou.
The Russian Space Station Mir which had an estimated 15 years in orbit, far longer than originally planned and then there were the earlier Salyut series of space stations which helped prepare the way for future research work of Mir and the International Space Station.
There are currently no space shuttles in operation. The Space Shuttle program was retired in 2011 after the final mission of the Space Shuttle Atlantis. Some shuttles, such as Discovery and Endeavour, are on display at museums, while others, like Enterprise, were used for testing and were not space-faring shuttles.
Well, as you wish here are the 1980-2011 space shuttles, and their names: 1. Colombia 2. Challenger 3. Discovery 4. Atlantis 5. Enterprise ________________________________________________________________ Here's what happened: 1. designated during reentry 2. Blew up in mid-flight 3. Made a great flight 4. Great flight 5. Never launched, citizens where curious of the shuttle...
Some of the Russian space crafts are Soyuz, Progress, and Vostok. Soyuz is used for crewed missions to the International Space Station, Progress is an unmanned cargo spacecraft, and Vostok was the spacecraft that carried the first human, Yuri Gagarin, into space.
They have been decommissioned- they are obsolete, so to speak. Some are scheduled to go to space museums.
space shuttles
Some common modes of transportation into space include rockets and space shuttles. Rockets use powerful engines to propel spacecraft beyond Earth's atmosphere, while space shuttles are reusable spacecraft that launch like a rocket and land like an airplane. Both of these vehicles are used to carry astronauts and cargo into space for missions to the International Space Station or beyond.
Some technology that has been derived from space shuttles includes advancements in materials, satellite technology, robotics, and life support systems. These innovations have found applications in various industries such as healthcare, communication, and transportation, leading to improvements in everyday life.
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).
Some of the well-known NASA space shuttles include Atlantis, Challenger, Columbia, Discovery, and Endeavour. NASA also operates other spacecraft such as the Mars rovers (e.g. Curiosity, Perseverance) and the Hubble Space Telescope.
