This is the last ferry flight of Space Shuttle Atlantis, riding on top of NASA’s 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft to its retirement home at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. In this video, you can see the escort planes flying alongside. If you hear some unusual sounds, don’t worry — that’s not the planes! Those noises come from the escorting pilots using their oxygen masks, as they had to close their nose and mouth for air support while keeping Atlantis safe on its final journey. An incredib

This footage shows NASA’s Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, a specially modified Boeing 747, ferrying a Space Shuttle orbiter piggyback. The shuttle could not fly long distances on its own after landing, so NASA used these flights to move orbiters between runways, test sites, and Kennedy Space Center. | SpaceEve

After retiring from spaceflight, Space Shuttle Atlantis didn’t fly into orbit again — but it still took one final ride through the sky! NASA used a specially modified Boeing 747 called the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA) to transport space shuttles. Instead of carrying passengers, this jumbo jet carried an entire space shuttle mounted on its back. Yes — right on top of the plane! 😲 Here’s how it worked: 🔹 The shuttle was carefully lifted using a giant crane and attached to strong mounting point

Post Deployment R&R with my son in 2021@SpaceCenterHou ---------------------------The @nasa 905 is NASA’s original Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA)—a heavily modified Boeing 747-100 (specifically a 747-123 model) on display at Independence Plaza in Space Center Houston. It’s the real deal: one of only two such aircraft ever built, and the centerpiece of the only place in the world where visitors can walk inside both the historic 747 and a full-scale Space Shuttle replica (named Independence) mount
