How many shuttles did NASA build?
There have been 6 orbiters. Enterprise was first. Never flew in space. Was built for Approach and Landing tests (ALT). Then came Columbia, Challenger, Atlantis, Discovery. Endeavour is the baby of the fleet and was built to replace Challenger. Columbia and Challenger were destroyed in accidents. Enterprise is in a museum.
How many space flights have there been since the space shuttle challenger?
There have been over 100 space flights since the Challenger tragedy in 1986, including missions to the International Space Station, commercial flights, and scientific research missions. These missions have marked significant advancements in space exploration and technology.
How many space shuttles have been built?
6. Enterprise, Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, Endeavour.
How many space shuttles are there in the world?
There is a total of five space shuttles that belonged to NASA. These shuttles are Discovery, Atlantis, Endeavour, Columbia, and Challenger. However, they have all been retired from service.

What significant event happened in August 2007 that is tied to the Challenger disaster back in 1986?
In August 2007, space shuttle Endeavor reached space with astronaut Barbara Morgan.

Is nasa a failure?
NASA has had both successes and failures in its history. While it has achieved significant milestones in space exploration, such as the Moon landings and the Mars rovers, there have also been setbacks and tragedies like the Space Shuttle Challenger and Columbia disasters. Overall, NASA has made valuable contributions to our understanding of space and continues to push boundaries in scientific research and exploration.
Has NASA had any accidents?
NASA has experienced three disasters resulting in the deaths of seventeen astronauts. * The launch pad fire of Apollo 1 * The Challenger that exploded during launch * The Columbia that tore apart during return to earth
What aspects of NASA practice revealed in the aftermath of the Columbia disaster suggest that the changes sought in the aftermath of the Challenger disaster were not sustained?
The commission's recommended that NASA needed to restructure its management so that change could take place. NASA's management needed to tighten its control to establish higher safety regulations for shuttle safety. Both the Challenger and Columbia had safety issues that were either overlooked or brushed under the rug. NASA also had major communication problems before, during, and after both disasters. The lack of communication posed a significant safety issue for everyone in the space program.
Does NASA have more than one spaceshuttle?
NASA created 2 space shuttles that would never fly in space. The first, Pathfinder. The purpoose of Pathfinder was to find the shortest and safest route from the location that it was built to the nearest airport so it can be delivered to the Kenedy Space Center. The second Shuttle that will never make a space trip is Enterprise. Enterprise was used for aerodynamic test and landing tests. Five other shuttles have been made; Columbia, Challenger; Atlantis; Discovery and Endeavour. Columbia and Challenger exploded during missions.
