Yes. Shuttle Fleet has such missions and there are also add-ons for loading/unloading.

SSU has provisions for installing the orbiter on a ferry plane, but it is neither used nor tested yet.

And please edit the title of your thread - "Can we do that" is pretty undescriptive.

I hate to lecture, but thread-posting etiquette is pretty poor these days.

Please post a more descriptive title, and some text to go with your link so that we can decide whether it's worth downloading a web page before we commit to it.
