Six were made, but only five ever went into space.

The space shuttle system is made up of three main components: the orbiter, the external tank, and the solid rocket boosters. These components work together to launch and maneuver the shuttle in space.
The first space shuttle, STA-099, was built in the late 1970s.
The first space shuttle, the Space Shuttle Columbia, was developed by NASA and made its first test flight on April 12, 1981. It was a reusable spacecraft designed to carry astronauts and cargo to and from space.
A space shuttle has over 1,000 buttons and swiches.
