"Downtown Houston and southern portions of that city form the backdrop for this picture of the Space Transportation System's Challenger flying to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida from its California landing site. It is ferried by NASA 905, a modified 747 aircraft. The crew inside the 747 was as follows: Pilot Joseph S. Algranti; Co-pilot Francis R. (Dick) Scobee; Flight Engineers Louis E. (Skip) Guidry Jr. and Glen O. Pingry. The frame was exposed by Bob Gray from the rear station of a nearby T-38 chase plane piloted by David L. Mumme. The Harris County Domed Stadium (Astrodome) can be seen near center."
