The Primary landing site is the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The Back Up site is Edwards Air Force Base in California. Columvia, while on mission STS 3 landed at the White Sands NASA Space Port in New Mexico once in 1982.
The three designated landing sites for the space shuttle were the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, Edwards Air Force Base in California, and the White Sands Space Harbor in New Mexico.
3 Atlantis, Endeavor,and Discovery While the physical number is actually three.....As of this morning 3/9/11 with the Discovery`s Final Landing,there are only Two working Shuttles remaining in service....
NASA had a total of five space shuttles: Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour. These shuttles were in operation from 1981 to 2011.
The three remaining space shuttles in the NASA fleet are Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour. These shuttles are currently retired and on display in museums across the United States.
Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour.
There were a total of five space shuttles built by NASA: Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour. These shuttles were operational between 1981 and 2011.
Of the five that were sent into space (the Space Shuttle Enterprise was used only for landing tests only), three were successful.

Launch, orbit, and landing.
Space shuttles are used for tasks such as launching and deploying satellites into orbit, performing experiments in microgravity, and transporting astronauts and supplies to the International Space Station.
The three phases of a space shuttle flight are launch, orbital operations, and re-entry and landing. The launch phase involves liftoff, ascent into orbit, and achieving orbit. Orbital operations involve performing tasks in space, such as scientific experiments or satellite deployment. Re-entry and landing involve the spacecraft returning to Earth and safely landing.
After the Challenger disaster in 1986, NASA retired its remaining three Space Shuttle orbitersβ Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour were built as replacements. Following the Columbia disaster in 2003, the decision was made to retire the remaining Space Shuttle fleet, and they were not replaced with new shuttles.
