Space Shuttle

A nice picture of a shuttle being loaded onto a 747 for a zero gravity ride. I saw a couple of videos from the inside of these things..awesome.

Looks like the atmospheric test vehicle, "Enterprise" is the name if I'm not mistaken. It was used to test the glide characteristics of the space shuttle design. Note the tail cone to reduce drag, so the photo was probably taken when it's being loaded for one of the earlier tests. Someone else who knows more please correct me. Nice photo.
