STS-4 |
S82-33394 (5 July 1982) --- A rare sight in Houston is the appearance
of the spacecraft whose flights are monitored from that city, but with the
brief stopover of Space Shuttle Challenger, thousands of area residents were
afforded that opportunity as part of a nationwide special July 4 celebration.
Here, the Challenger and its Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, NASA 905 (a modified
Boeing 747 aircraft) are readied for the completion of the journey from California
to Florida. The Columbia landed in California on July 4 (STS-4) and the Enterprise
was already there, so three Shuttles were together as appropriate backdrops
for a space-oriented July 4 speech by President Ronald Reagan. Crew for the
NASA 905 for Challenger's Florida trip from Houston were Pilot Joseph S. Algranti,
Co-Pilot Francis R. (Dick) Scobee.
