CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – The "wingwalkers" who accompanied space shuttle Atlantis on the final leg of its 10-hour journey from Kennedy Space Center's Vehicle Assembly Building to its new home, at Kennedy's visitor complex in Florida, pose for a group portrait. The group includes numerous current and former astronauts, including NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden and Kennedy Director Bob Cabana, at front right. As part of transition and retirement of the Space Shuttle Program, Atlantis will be displayed in a new exhibit hall at Kennedy's visitor complex beginning in the summer of 2013. Over the course of its 26-year career, Atlantis traveled 125,935,769 miles, completing 33 missions during 307 days in space. For more information, visit http://www.nasa.gov/transition.
