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.
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
The 5 Space Shuttles flew in space 134 times. One mission didn't make it to space.
John Young is the only astronaut to have flown in all five space shuttles—Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour.
