Space shuttle Columbia first launched on April 12, 1981, for its maiden flight.
The first NASA space shuttle mission, STS-1, took place in 1981. The mission was flown by the space shuttle Columbia and marked the first orbital flight of the Space Shuttle program.
Two space shuttles exploded; one upon take off and one on re-entry. The Space Shuttle Challenger exploded in 1986, 1 minute 13 seconds after take-off killing all seven members on board. The Space Shuttle Columbia exploded on re-entry in 2003 also killing all seven members on board.
There have been two space shuttles that exploded during launch: Challenger in 1986 and Columbia in 2003.
The first space shuttle that "flew" was the Enterprise, but it was not capable of space flight.The first orbital shuttle was Columbia.The next orbital shuttle was Challenger.

The first space shuttle, Columbia, took off on April 12, 1981. It was the inaugural mission of NASA's Space Shuttle program, known as STS-1.
Only one space shuttle exploded during takeoff. That shuttle was the Challenger, which exploded on January 28, 1986. The only other space shuttle to be destroyed was the Columbia, which disintegrated on reentry on February 1, 2003.
The construction of the Space Shuttle program began in the 1970s, and the first shuttle, Columbia, was completed in 1979. From initial design concepts to final construction, it took about 10 years to build each space shuttle.
