Tulsa Air and Space lands last of NASA's shuttle crew cabin trainers

NASA's last space shuttle mockup still on its astronaut training room floor has landed a new educational mission in Oklahoma.

The Tulsa Air and Space Museum has announced that it will be taking possession of the full-size space shuttle Crew Compartment Trainer-2 (CCT-2) currently in the Space Vehicle Mockup Facility at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. CCT-2 was last used to prepare the final crew of the space shuttle program for how to enter and exit the orbiter's cabin almost a decade ago.
