As many in the Antelope Valley witnessed, it was conveyed at 3-mph from Rockwell International’s assembly facility at Palmdale aboard a 90-wheel transporter. The unpowered version of the Shuttle was housed at Dryden Flight Research Center in preparation for a series of ground, captive- and free-flight tests prior to the space launch program.
