Enterprise was not a "space craft" but more of a full scale mock up used for testing purposes in the atmosphere. It was released from a mother plane, then glided to landing. Columbia was the first shuttle spacecraft.

I remember watching this on TV...it was awesome to see the shuttle & mother ship (747? 707?) in the air...and then the shuttle being released.
