[b]Shuttle Carrier Aircraft staged for 'Big Move'[/b] With the "big move" of the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA) "NASA 905" from Ellington Field to Space Center Houston set to begin Monday night (April 28), the partially-disassembled, modified Boeing 747 was repositioned from a tarmac to a taxiway late Thursday evening (April 24). Traveling atop four self-propelled trailers and three tractor-trailers, the SCA convoy stretched more than a 1,000 feet when in motion. When it departs the airport on Monday, the jumbo jet will move nearly eight miles over the course of two nights, traveling nearly six miles on April 28 and two miles on April 29. It arrives early April 30 at Space Center Houston, where it will go on public display in 2015.
