My father Richard Henry Wolfarth was one of four men who did the engineering and design of the Enterprise at Honeywell back in the 70's. He was in the newspaper for this with the other 3 men. My mom has the newspaper article about it saved!
The first space shuttle ever built was the Space Shuttle Enterprise. It was constructed as a prototype and test vehicle and never flew into space. Enterprise was used for approach and landing tests before the operational shuttle flights began with Columbia.
The first space shuttle built for NASA was named "Enterprise." It was used for approach and landing tests in the atmosphere, but it never flew in space.
The first space shuttle to be built but never flew into space was the Space Shuttle Enterprise. It was used for approach and landing tests during the late 1970s.
Enterprise was the first space shuttle orbiter built but it was used only for flight tests and was not capable of going into space. Columbia was the first orbiter built which was space worthy and launched on STS-1
The name of the second space shuttle is "Enterprise." It was originally built as a test vehicle and did not go on operational space missions like the other shuttles.

Construction of the Space Shuttle Enterprise began on June 4, 1974. The completed vehicle was unveiled to the public on September 17, 1976.
Space Shuttle Enterprise is in New York, Space Shuttle Discovery is in Virginia, Space Shuttle Atlanti is in Florida, and Space Shuttle Endeavour is in California.
The first space shuttle, The Enterprise, was completed on September 17, 1976. On July 26, 1972, Rockwell International won a $2.6 billion contract to build the space shuttle orbiter.
No, Enterprise was the only prototype, and it did not go into space. Endeavour was the fifth "space capable" shuttle, built in 1991 to replace Challenger, which was destroyed on takeoff in 1986.
Space Shuttle Endeavour was the final Space Shuttle built. It was built to replace Space Shuttle Challenger.
Of the first Space Shuttle; Enterprise. Of the first space worthy Space Shuttle; Columbia.
The first space shuttle, known as the Space Shuttle Enterprise, was not designed for spaceflight. It was built by NASA and introduced in 1976 for atmospheric test flights to validate the shuttle's design and capabilities. The first space-flown shuttle was the Columbia, which was launched in 1981.
