Each NASA space shuttle designation is composed of a prefix and suffix seperated by a dash. The prefix for operational shuttles is OV, for Orbiter Vehicle.
The suffix is composed of two parts: the series and the vehicle number.
Series:
0 - Non-flight ready shuttles
1 - Flight Ready shuttles
The vehicle number is the sequentially assigned within the series, beginning with 1. Therefore, there can never be a OV-100 as it would read "Orbiter Vehicle Series 1 Vehicle 0"
