No, Columbia never went to the International Space Station, or the MIR.
No, not all space shuttles docked at the International Space Station. The Space Shuttle program ended in 2011, and prior to that, shuttles visited several destinations including the International Space Station, the Hubble Space Telescope, and the Russian Mir space station.
The Columbia space shuttle was part of NASA's Space Shuttle program, designed for conducting various scientific research experiments, deploying satellites, and servicing the International Space Station. It also played a crucial role in advancing space exploration and carrying astronauts to and from space.
No. It is a satellite.
The space shuttle Columbia was important for advancing space exploration, serving as the first shuttle to fly in space. It helped pave the way for future shuttle missions and played a key role in assembling the International Space Station. Despite the tragic loss of the Columbia and its crew in 2003, its legacy continues to inspire and inform NASA's ongoing efforts in space exploration.
The Space Shuttle docked with the International Space Station (ISS) during its missions. The shuttle used a docking mechanism called the Orbiter Docking System to connect with the ISS.
The space shuttle Columbia completed 27 successful space flights, not including its final flight whereupon it was destroyed in the Earth's atmosphere. It was the only shuttle apart from the Challenger never to dock with the Mir Space Station or the International Space Station.

The Space Shuttle docked with the International Space Station (ISS) during its missions. The shuttle used a docking mechanism called the Orbiter Docking System to connect with the ISS.
Discovery (STS-96) made its first docking with the International Space Station (ISS) on 29 May, 1999. This was also the first shuttle to actually dock with the ISS. The pilot of this mission was Rick Husband, who would later lose his life on-board the shuttle Columbia (STS-107).
The primary mission of the Space Shuttle Columbia was to carry crew and cargo to space, support scientific research in microgravity, service satellites, and construct and maintain the International Space Station. It played a crucial role in advancing human spaceflight capabilities during its missions.
The purpose of the Columbia space shuttle was to go into space
The space shuttle took about 8.5 minutes to reach the International Space Station after launch. The shuttle travelled at speeds of around 17,500 miles per hour to reach the ISS, which is in low Earth orbit.
It takes about 8.5 minutes for a space shuttle to reach orbit and then rendezvous with the International Space Station, which orbits approximately 250 miles above Earth.
