CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – At the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida, technicians monitor the progress as space shuttle Atlantis’ payload bay doors are opened. Atlantis is being prepared for display in the “Space Shuttle Atlantis” exhibit, a 90,000-square-foot facility, scheduled to open June 29, 2013. The new $100 million facility will include interactive exhibits that tell the story of the 30-year Space Shuttle Program and highlight the future of space exploration. Visitors to the exhibit will get an up close look at Atlantis with its payload bay doors open, similar to how it looked in space. Photo credit: NASA_Kim Shiflett
