There were six space shuttles built between the late 70s and early 1990s. Their names are: Enterprise, Columbia, Challenger, Discovery,Atlantis and Endeavor.
The Enterprise flew several times on top of a modified Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet, and did glidding tests in the 70s, but never went into space. This tests lead to discovering problems with heat tiles falling off that were resolved in later shuttles.
Both the Challenger and the Columbia were lost in accidents, the Challenger as it took off from Florida, the Columbia as it re-entered the atmosphere.
