The Primary landing site is the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The Back Up site is Edwards Air Force Base in California. Columvia, while on mission STS 3 landed at the White Sands NASA Space Port in New Mexico once in 1982.

Five Space Shuttles were built. Challenger, Columbia, Atlantis, Discovery and Endeavor. Of the five built, three remain. Atlantis, Discovery and Endeavor
Of the five that were sent into space (the Space Shuttle Enterprise was used only for landing tests only), three were successful.

Launch, orbit, and landing.
Space shuttles are used for tasks such as launching and deploying satellites into orbit, performing experiments in microgravity, and transporting astronauts and supplies to the International Space Station.
After the Challenger disaster in 1986, NASA retired its remaining three Space Shuttle orbiters— Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour were built as replacements. Following the Columbia disaster in 2003, the decision was made to retire the remaining Space Shuttle fleet, and they were not replaced with new shuttles.
The three phases of a space shuttle flight are launch, orbital operations, and re-entry and landing. The launch phase involves liftoff, ascent into orbit, and achieving orbit. Orbital operations involve performing tasks in space, such as scientific experiments or satellite deployment. Re-entry and landing involve the spacecraft returning to Earth and safely landing.
