Six air-worthy shuttles have been built.
The first orbiter, Enterprise, was not built for space flight, and was used only for testing purposes.
Five space-worthy orbiters were built: Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavor.
Challenger disintegrated 73 seconds after launch in 1986, and Endeavour was built as a replacement.
Columbia broke apart during re-entry in 2003.
Only Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavor are operational today.
5 NASA Shuttles have been into space. Of those 5 shuttles, 2 were unfortunately destroyed. There has been a total of 135 Space missions using the space shuttle between the years 1980 and 2011 :)
5 were built Columbia Discovery Atlantis Endeavor Challenger
They are in the order in which they flew: Colombia Challenger Discovery Atlantis Endeavour So your answer would be 5.
The five space shuttles were named: Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour. These shuttles were part of NASA's Space Shuttle program, with Columbia being the first to launch in 1981 and Endeavour being the last in 1992.
5 different space shuttles have been launched on 129 missions.

None. The moon missions were launched by a Saturn 5 rocket carrying an Apollo space capsule. The space shuttles were used for earth orbit missions.
There was only 6 Space Shuttles. Only 5 of them went into space.
5 Space Shuttle orbiters have been built. 3 remain in service.
The 5 Space Shuttles flew in space 134 times. One mission didn't make it to space.
NASA has plans to launch 5 space Huttles in 2010, after that they will rely only on the Russian Soyuz rocket. Here is a list of the future mission (Please note that date are subject to chage). STS-130; Febuary 4th STS-131; March 18th STS-132; May 14th STS-134; July 29th STS-133; September 16th
John Young is the only astronaut to have flown in all five space shuttles—Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour.
