The space shuttle Discovery holds the record for the most flights, with 39 missions between 1984 and 2011. Discovery was the third of NASA's five space shuttles to be built.
The space shuttle that completed the most successful missions is the Space Shuttle Discovery (OV-103). It flew a total of 39 missions from 1984 to 2011, including significant missions such as the Hubble Space Telescope deployment and multiple International Space Station assembly flights. Discovery is celebrated for its reliability and contributions to space exploration.
probably the U.S. space shuttle, although the Russian Soyuz has flown alot, too, all the news reporters say differently, the conflict in space partnership between the U.S. and Russia has caused problems...

Jerry L. Ross holds the record for the most space shuttle flights, with seven missions. He is a former NASA astronaut and has logged a total of 1,393 hours in space.
5 operational Space Shuttles were built, Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavour. Challenger was destroyed in an explosion during launch and Discovery was destroyed when it disintegrated during re-entry. Neither accident was caused by the orbiter itself. They all flew mission of national or scientific interest. Columbia flew 28 missions. Challenger flew 10 missions. Discovery flew 39 missions. Atlantis flew 33 missions. Endeavour flew 25 missions.

The last space shuttle launch took place on July 8, 2011, with the space shuttle Atlantis flying the final mission of NASA's Space Shuttle Program, STS-135. Since then, NASA has relied on other vehicles, such as SpaceX's Crew Dragon, for crewed missions to space.
Discovery has not been destroyed, but is still undertaking missions. Only the space shuttle Challenger (January 28, 1986) and Columbia ( February 1, 2003) have been destroyed in accidents.
If we were to ask NASA what is the most difficult part of getting a shuttle into space, I believe the answer would be, getting the appropriation through Congress.
NASA is canceling the Space Shuttle program for several reasons. Firstly, there have been 2 space shuttle disasters, leaving 14 astronauts dead. Both accidents were caused by human error and severe problems with NASA management over the space shuttle program. Secondly, the space shuttle is not a very safe vehicle. There have been many close calls on past shuttle missions that could easily have led to catastrophes. The space shuttle is still largely an experimental vehicle with new problems and safety issues being discovered. Thirdly, there is no viable method for space shuttle crew members to escape in the event of an accident. Though Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo all had emergency escape systems, the space shuttle's crew escape system can only be used in a very small percent of circumstances, but in most emergencies the crew would have no chance of survival. Lastly, the shuttle program is expensive. It costs an average of $450 million dollars and many months of training to prepare each shuttle launch.
NASA has a lot of ongoing missions. Off the top of my head here are some of the most recent of NASA missions.STS-131 (space shuttle Discovery schedule to launch early April)LCROSSMars ExpressPhoenixLROISS
Here are the most well known Redstone Mercury-Redstone Gemini Saturn V (Apollo missions) Space Shuttle.
