    Satellites watched as an absolutely massive Airbus Beluga aircraft unloaded a satellite at NASA's Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida ahead of a planned SpaceX launch.

    The Airbus Beluga ST is one of the largest currently operational aircraft based on the volume of its cargo hold, making it even more impressive when viewed from space.

    The Beluga was delivering the Hotbird 13G satellite to KSC on behalf of telecommunications giant Eutelsat.

    The Airbus A300-600ST (Super Transporter), or Beluga, made its first flight in 1994. According to Airbus, it measures 184 feet (56 meters) in length and has a wingspan of 147 feet (44.8 m).

    The massive cargo jet can carry payloads weighing up to 44 tons (40 tonnes) and measuring 22 by 23 by 127 feet (6.7 by 7.1 by 39 m).

    The cargo area even features a special heating module that can be used when sensitive payloads that require climate controls are being transported, ensuring they aren't damaged in flight.

    Only five Belugas have been built to date.
