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.
