Space Shuttle Atlantis docked with the Russian space station Mir in 1995. This mission, known as STS-71, marked the first shuttle mission to dock with a 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.
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.
Shuttle commander Lee Archambault is slated to dock his 100-ton spacecraft at the station at 5:13 p.m. EDT
The United States Space Shuttle Atlantis docked with the Russian Mir Space Station for the first time on June 29, 1995 as part of the STS-71 mission. The docking marked the first time a Space Shuttle docked with a space station.

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.

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).
it was also in the earlyer (not shuttle) missions
A shuttle is launched then docked to the station.
Why is it advantageous for astronauts to live on a space station rather than in a space shuttle
Most space shuttle missions have been to the International Space Station. The correct term would be to dock at the station, not to land there (since it is not located on land, but is floating in space).
