About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — A shuttle training aircraft, or STA, sits on the tarmac at Kennedy Space Center's Shuttle Landing Facility at dusk, ready for practice flights by space shuttle Atlantis STS-122 Commander Steve Frick and Pilot Alan Poindexter. The STA is a Grumman American Aviation-built Gulf Stream II jet that was modified to simulate an orbiter's cockpit, motion and visual cues, and handling qualities.
