There were six space shuttles: Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, Endeavour, and Enterprise. (The Enterprise did not fly into space and was only used in landing tests in 1977.) Both the Challenger (1986) and Columbia (2003) suffered catastrophic accidents during missions. The four remaining shuttles are now located in museums and other institutions across the United States.
