The Space Shuttle program is NASA's manned space program that ran during the post-Apollo era from 1981 to 2011. It flew 135 missions, of which 133 of them were successful (the other two led to the catastrophic failures that killed a total of 14 astronauts in 1986 and 2003). There are five operational Space Shuttle orbiters built (Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, Endeavour), with the first two destroyed in the aforementioned accidents. See the table below to view each shuttle mission by date
