This would be OV-102 more popularly known as Columbia. It was the first Space Shuttle to fly to space.
It lived a full career before the tragedy which led to its destruction at the end of STS-107 on 1-February 2003, which would have been its 28th mission.

What was the name of the space shuttle that burned up upon re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere?
The Space Shuttle Colombia disintegrated on reentry in 2003.
What is the temperature upon reentry for the space shuttle?
About 47,000 K
What space shuttle disintegrated upon re-entering the earths atmosphere?
Space Shuttle Columbia
Which space shuttle disintegrated upon entering the Earth's atmosphere on February 1 2003?
It was the Columbia, the first space shuttle to be flown into space more than twenty years earlier.
Which space shuttles are still in service?
According to NASA, Endeavor, Atlantis, and Discovery are the shuttles currently still in service. Challenger and Columbia both disintegrated in flight. Columbia disintegrated upon reentry on Feb 1 2003 and Challenger disintegrated shortly upon lift off on Feb. 28, 1986. The Enterprise is another shuttle that NASA has, but in was never built for the purpose of space travel. But instead was used early on in the space program to improve landings and space flight in general before the actual mission itself got underway.

YES... Apollo 13 did upon reentry
Who made the first space shuttle succesfully?
The USA's Enterprise was the first shuttle but was built in 1976 as a test platform for the future shuttle fleet. The Challenger was the first to achieve Earth orbit in 1981. Of the Soviet fleet of shuttles, only one acheved Earth orbit and successful reentry, but this occured much later, when the USSR decided the US shuttles represented a serious security threat. The Soviet shuttles were moth-balled upon the collapse of the CCCP (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics). No other countries have built successful shuttles.
How fast is the space shuttle upon reentry?
A series of suborbital tests carried out by NASA in the 1960s to evaluate various types of heat ablative materials (ablation) and atmospheric reentry technology, particularly in preparation for the Apollo program. The nosecones of the Scout rockets used in these tests were coated in heat-shield ablators and then caused to reenter the atmosphere at around 28,000 km/h - the speed of reentry after a lunar excursion.
