NASA used the Space Shuttle program's Crew Transport Vehicle, or CTV, to transfer astronauts from shuttle orbiters directly from the orbiter to the Operations and Checkout building when they landed at Kenndey Space Center. The vehicle, acquired in 1990, is a former people mover from Dulles Airport in Virginia. The mover’s interior was modified to accomplish its role as a mobile medical facility. The CTV was transfered to the Wings of Dreams museum in 2013. The museum closed in 2019. The CTV remains at the Keystone Heights Airport.
