The NASA Space Shuttle Enterprise did not fly in space but was a prototype used for atmospheric flight tests. Its test flights were conducted in the late 1970s, with pilots including Fred J. Leslie and Charles D. Gemar. Other test pilots like Richard Truly and John Young also contributed to the shuttle's development during its test phase. Enterprise was primarily used to validate the shuttle's design and capabilities before the program's operational flights.

How do you enter in NASA as pilot?
NASA doesn't normally have its own pilots - they're military pilots (usually former test pilots) who are assigned to NASA operations. It's common for NASA to use personnel from other agencies like DoD - I myself was a DoD Inspector assigned to NASA operations for 9 years.When you see chase planes escorting a Shuttle during landing or patrolling an area during launch, they're from the local military bases in the area (Cape Canaveral Air Station next to KSC, Edwards AFB, etc.). NASA does use helo and camera jet pilots for local security, but they don't have that many.For the Astronaut program, being a Test Pilot is the only way to go, and even then you're not a NASA employee - you're still a DoD employee assigned to NASA.
