The actual space shuttle orbiter can be used lots of times, unless it is damaged too badly during re-entery, like Columbia. Columbia differentiated during re-entery, because it was not at the proper angle it must be-180 degrees.
But to answer your question, yes. The Solid Rocket Boosters (S.O.B.s) will detach during late flight, and parachute into the Atlantic, where it is recovered by nearby coast guards / Navy Seals. So is the external fuel tank.
What else can I help you with?
What propells the space shuttle in space?
The space shuttle's main engines are used to propel it into orbit and make course corrections in space. Once in orbit, thrusters are used to adjust its position and orientation. Additionally, the shuttle can rely on gravity assists and other celestial phenomena to maneuver in space.
What space shuttle did not fly in space?
Space Shuttle Enterprise did not fly in space, it was only a mock-up used for aerodynamics and gliding tests.
When did the space shuttle Enterprise launch?
It never did. Enterprise was only used for atmospheric and aerodynamic tests in earths atmosphere and was never launched into space.
The first space shuttle?
The first space shuttle developed by NASA was the Space Shuttle Enterprise, which never flew in space and was used for atmospheric flight tests. The first space shuttle to reach space was the Space Shuttle Columbia, which launched on April 12, 1981.
Do Russians have a space-shuttle?
The Soviets used to have a shuttle-like vehicle called Buran. It made only one unmanned space flight in November 1988 and the whole programme was cancelled in 1993. The Russians use a Soyuz spacecraft to get to and from the International Space Station. The Buran was destroyed when its hangar collapsed, so the answer to your question is "no". Since it was only used once, it may not even be proper to call it a "shuttle".
Was the space shuttle developed to be used only once?
Certainly not! The space shuttle was the first reuseable space craft. After its solid rocket boosters and belly tank fall away, they are collected from the sea.

Why is the space shuttle cheaper to operate than the first spacecraft?
The Space Shuttle is cheaper to operate because it can be used again and again. Other spacecraft can only be used once, then thrown away or recycled. Launching multi-stage rockets is very expensive, because most of the space craft is lost once it falls to Earth.
What is the diffence between space shuttles and regular rockets?
A rocket is meant to be used once; a space shuttle is used multiple times.
When did the space shuttle Enterprise launch?
It never did. Enterprise was only used for atmospheric and aerodynamic tests in earths atmosphere and was never launched into space.
Why is the Space shuttle main engine used on a space shuttle?
UUUHH...it's called a "space shuttle" main engine...why do you think?

How many space shuttles were successful in NASA?
Of the five that were sent into space (the Space Shuttle Enterprise was used only for landing tests only), three were successful.
