This Gulfstream II was one of four used by NASA as a STA - Shuttle Training Aircraft, these slightly modified Gulfstream's could simulate Shuttle landings in order to train the pilots in landing a Space Shuttle. After the Space Shuttle program stopped N944NA was put on display at the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards AFB CA.

This Gulfstream II was modified to serve as a Shuttle Training Aircraft (STA). Its cockpit was designed to closely resemble the flight deck of the Space Shuttle and the aircraft could be used to simulate the flight characteristics of the Space Shuttle during re-entry and landing after an orbital mission. The aircraft joined the collections of the US Space & Rocket Center in 2017.
