TITUSVILLE, Fla. – When the X-37B spacecraft roared back to Cape Canaveral on Sunday after its two-year top-secret mission, it left a lot of people in Central Florida confused.
The confusion, for some, was hearing and feeling the sonic boom when it unexpectedly entered Earth's atmosphere.
For others, it was what the Air Force's video revealed as the X-37B was landing at Kennedy Space Center.
Sitting a few yards off the Shuttle Landing Facility runway was a space shuttle.
The iconic spacecraft had a lot of folks speculating why it was there, so News 6 followed up with NASA officials to get to the bottom of it.
A representative for the space agency said in a statement that it's a mock orbiter named "Inspiration."
If you live on the Space Coast, or if you're a space buff, that name might ring a bell.
The mock shuttle called the Astronaut Hall of Fame in Titusville home for more than 20 years.
It served as a classroom for students and campers who were studying space, as well as being a landmark outside the building on State Road 405.
The Hall of Fame has since moved to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor's Complex, which prompted Inspiration to find a new home as well.
The mock shuttle was moved to its current location at the SLF (Shuttle Landing Facility), where it's been undergoing refurbishment.
The refurbishment won't be for future space travel, but for educational and display purposes.
Once complete, it will set out on its new mission: traveling around the country on America's waterways.
