How to put the shuttle on top of the Boeing 747 when they want to send it from California two Housten?

Space Shuttle alleged discovery of land in Houston but for some reason do not know. When they want to return to Houston, will be placed on top of a Boeing 747 before send it back to Houston. It's like in the movie Superman, a space shuttle was attached on top of an airplane. Howd they do that?

Well, the shuttle Houston does not land on the other hand, I just wanted to clarify that. Mate the shuttle to the SCA (Shuttle Carrier Aircraft) with a fixed structure called MDD (Mate decoupling device). It's basically a fixed crane that lifts the shuttle using a sling. The plane then rolled on the ferry and as far down and pin him. Visit the NASA website for more details if you are still interested.

A brief encounter with a space shuttle

The sixties and early seventies saw intense activity in the NASA headquarters and several manned missions to the moon were executed one after another. Christopher Freville reasons why the race to the moon was caused mainly by the Cold War between the U.S. and the former Union Soviet. Their battle for supremacy in missile technology gave birth to the long-range rocket that had the immense lifting power. According to John F. Kennedy, former U.S. president, to launch a spacecraft to take man to the moon and returning him safely to earth to prove beyond the shadow of a doubt the Soviets and the rest of the world, the powerful capabilities of the U.S. rocket technology . His dream came true on July 20, 1969, when the mission commander Neil Alden Armstrong and Aldrin Lunar Module Pilot Edwin Eugene 'Buzz', Jr. became the first man on the moon.

Each mission to moon cost more than $ 300 million, which was a massive amount of money. Most of this amount went to the rockets that would be powerful enough to spacecraft lift and push beyond the escape velocity. In an effort to reduce the cost of each mission, the development of a reusable space vehicle proposed. Freville Christopher said that the space shuttle was designed to meet this specific need. Shaped in the form of a plane, the shuttle would be launched a rocket into space as usual. However, upon returning to earth, they glided back to a track without power for propulsion.

Officially, the shuttle space is called a space transportation system. Shuttles are routinely used to conduct space science experiments, launching probes and numerous satellites and the construction and maintenance of the international space station. Freville Christopher explains that during the launch, the shuttle is equipped with an external fuel tank that is Dark Orange and a pair of solid rocket boosters. The tail of the houses of three shuttle main engines, which are powered by liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen stored in the external tank. The solid rocket boosters have solid fuel and once they are running, you can not extinguish. Twin booster rockets and the shuttle's three main engines provide the thrust for lifting payloads into orbit. The two rocket boosters to operate the first two minutes of flight is the first phase of ascension. Thereafter, they are released and allowed to return to fall into the ocean. Proponents of the sea then recovered for reuse in subsequent missions. The rest of the rise in power of the three main engines housed in the shuttle. After the shuttle goes into orbit around the earth, the external tank is dropped to the ground. As the tank falls through the atmosphere, burns and disintegrates completely.

A shuttle fleet has been in operation since the 1980s and scheduled retirement in 2010. Spacecraft have then been in operation for 30 years Christopher Freville estimates more than 130 missions of which two ended in the loss of lives of the crew total flight and loss of the vehicle as well.
