The six names of US space shuttles are: * Enterprise * Columbia (lost in 2003) * Challenger (lost in 1986) * Discovery * Atlantis * Endeavour The space shuttle generally refers to the American NASA spacecraft also called Space Transportation System (STS) and is the current U.S. manned spacecraft vehicle. The Russians did make one "shuttle" called Buran, although it had only one (unmanned) space flight in 1988 and destroyed in 2002.
The two spacecraft that have apparently escaped the Sun's gravity force and have now passed into outer space are the inter-stellar space probes Pioneer 10, launched in 1972 and Voyager 1 launched in 1977.
The Voyager spacecraft does not have shuttles. It is a pair of robotic spacecraft launched by NASA in 1977 to study the outer Solar System. Each Voyager spacecraft is equipped with scientific instruments to study planets and their moons but does not have shuttles for transportation.
As of 2021, only the Parker Solar Probe has visited the sun. It was launched by NASA in 2018 with the mission of studying the sun's outer atmosphere and its effects on space weather.
The voyager spacecraft is one of NASA's most famous missions, launched in 1977 to explore the outer reaches of our solar system.
As of now, the latest spacecraft sent to outer space is the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), which was launched in December 2021. It is an advanced observatory that will help astronomers study the universe in infrared wavelengths.

The two Voyager space probes are robotic spacecraft launched in 1977 as the first spacecraft to examine the outer planets. Both are still operating, having passed the orbits of the outer planets, and drifting toward the boundary of the solar system.
The Voyager spacecraft does not have shuttles. It is a pair of robotic spacecraft launched by NASA in 1977 to study the outer Solar System. Each Voyager spacecraft is equipped with scientific instruments to study planets and their moons but does not have shuttles for transportation.
The spacecraft is called the Parker Solar Probe (PSP). It was launched in 2018 to study the outer corona of the sun and the solar wind. It is the closest approach any spacecraft has made to the sun.
-- from chemical fuel that it carried when it was launched -- from an atomic reactor that it carried when it was launched -- from photovoltaic panels deployed after launch that convert solar radiation to electrical energy

Voyager I and II are pretty much on the edge of solar system.
As of 2021, only the Parker Solar Probe has visited the sun. It was launched by NASA in 2018 with the mission of studying the sun's outer atmosphere and its effects on space weather.

America first launched into outer space on January 31, 1958, with the launch of Explorer 1, the first satellite launched by the United States.
