I recall visiting the prototype around 1982 on a visit to Rockwell's Downey facility. It was helpful to get a sense of the true size of the craft. Cargo bay was large, crew compartment cramped.
I and a few other guys from our shop, actually toured that mock up back in the late eighties (?) ... Was a long time ago ... Saw the 'arm' in the bay, that would retrieve or send off satellites... The 'gages' were pictures... Didn't matter, I loved seeing and walking up into it... The memory sticks with me to this day... We machined aerospace items...
That is for training of space stuttle prototype. You remember the space shuttle on 747? they take off to fly for landing test in 1977. So You would look on the website
It's not a prototype, but a mockup. It is very detailed, particularly in the crew cabin area.

NASA should bring back the space shuttle
City of Downey was the center manufacturing hub for the space program... such a great community.
Home of the Apollo program!
Lived there for most my life. VIKINGS!!!!!
Put that NASA Space Shuttle cockpit on a Mack truck chassis please.
Maybe they're going to go rescue the stranded astronauts with it
It'll leave astronauts stranded again. Don't worry.
william city of downey ❤
Where To Endeavor ?
And how much did they pay to get this? And now they have to Raise fifty million dollars !!!
Why are they doing this? They already have one shuttle. Why do they need 2 of them?
What the hell.!!!
