As of now, the space shuttle program has been retired and no new shuttles are being built. The last space shuttle was the Space Shuttle Atlantis, which retired in 2011. The focus has shifted towards developing new spacecraft for space exploration.
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.
