Challenger and Columbia.
5 Space Shuttle orbiters have been built. 3 remain in service.
There have been two space shuttle disasters in history. The first was the Challenger disaster in 1986, where the shuttle broke apart 73 seconds after liftoff, resulting in the death of all seven crew members. The second was the Columbia disaster in 2003, where the shuttle disintegrated upon re-entry into Earth's atmosphere, also resulting in the loss of all seven crew members.
There were two space shuttle accidents during NASA's space shuttle program. The first was the Challenger disaster in 1986, and the second was the Columbia disaster in 2003.
No, Voyager is not an American space shuttle. Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 are twin spacecraft launched by NASA in 1977 on a mission to study the outer planets. They are not designed for human travel like the space shuttle.
The first space shuttle that "flew" was the Enterprise, but it was not capable of space flight.The first orbital shuttle was Columbia.The next orbital shuttle was Challenger.

Space Shuttle Endeavour was the final Space Shuttle built. It was built to replace Space Shuttle Challenger.
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.
There were 5. Space Shuttle Columbia (destroyed in 2003), Space Shuttle Challenger (destroyed in 1886), Space Shuttle Discovery, Space Shuttle Atlantis, and Space Shuttle Endeavour.
