One of NASA’s most familiar and recognizable aircraft, the modified Boeing 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA) 905, has landed at Ellington Field in Houston, to end 35 years of service to the now-former space shuttle program. The jumbo jet, which was used to ferry the orbiters around the country and to their museum homes, will be retired and eventually placed on public display near NASA’s Johnson Space Center.
