Space Shuttle Endeavour Mated to SCA Time-Lapse
September 20, 2012
At the Shuttle Landing Facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, space shuttle Endeavour is mounted atop NASA’s Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, or SCA, in preparation for its ferry flight to California. The SCA, a modified 747 jetliner, will fly Endeavour to Los Angeles where it will be placed on public display at the California Science Center. This is the final ferry flight scheduled in the Space Shuttle Program era.
