The National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) B-377-SG/SGT Super Guppy Turbine cargo aircraft is grounded on the flight line at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina, Feb. 28, 2019. The Super Guppy is used for hauling outsize cargo components and is currently transporting one of NASA’s space capsules to a separate location for testing. Cool alien look for a NASA plane.

I saw this on my ADS-B tracker yesterday, any reason it’s grounded?

It didn't say, but I don't think they meant grounded based on the other captions I saw. I think they simply meant it was on the ground to offload the capsule.
