Welcome to Flight Aware mnmland1 [flightaware.com/about/faq.rvt#nasa](http://flightaware.com/about/faq.rvt#nasa) from the frequently asked questions should answer your question 🙂 Plenty of websites out there that will do what you ask above. [spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/tracking/](http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/tracking/) is one. Allen ---

This is covered in the questions/answers located at the top right of every page in FlightAware. Every new person should read the questions/answers (aka FAQs) before using this website. It benefits you by letting you know what to expect on the site. Even old timers should review it once in a while. Not just giving you \*where \*to find the answer but actually \*giving \*you the answer also, here’s what [flightaware.com/about/faq.rvt#nasa](http://flightaware.com/about/faq.rvt#nasa) states > Can I track NASA’s Space Shuttle or other space ships (UFOs, etc) on FlightAware during launch or descent? > No, but that would be rather amusing; the shuttle or UFOs would have to be on an IFR flight plan to be tracked. However, NASA streams live NASA TV on the Internet. ---

Sorry if it’s been covered in another thread (I’m too lazy to search this morning), but does anyone know the number for the NASA shuttle training aircraft? It’s the old Gulfstream that shoots simulated approaches at KSC prior to the shuttle landings. If it can be tracked here, I’d kinda like to see what its path looks like… ---

If it can be tracked here, I’d kinda like to see what its path looks like… Here’s the listings of Gulfstreams registered to NASA. It’s probably not N2NA because I believe that is the company hack.

Thanks for that… I guess I’ll just look for a Gulfstream with a KTTS/KTTS routing on the day of the first landing opportunity. See ya in a couple weeks lol ---

Currently 944,945,946 and 947 are the STA Aircraf and they are based at El PAso notEllington Field,they are flown to Ellington for maintanence.They also fly Near White Sands for training since there is alreasdy an alternate Shuttle LAnding site there. The other Gulfstreams are VIP Transports, i know NASA 3 also known as NASA 949 is based at Marshall Space Flight Center. ---

Even is flight aware could track the shuttle is would be a very short track. Controlled airspace only extends to FL600 after that cancel, turn off the transponder and put your arrival clearance on request for pick-up in two weeks on short final to the skid pad! ---

Looks like it’s 945 for this one. [flightaware.com/live/flight/NASA945](http://flightaware.com/live/flight/NASA945) It flew in yesterday from El Paso & Ellington. ---
