CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- At the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida, a display inside the "Space Shuttle Atlantis" facility features an extravehicular activity mobility unit -- the space suit worn by spacewalking astronauts during the shuttle program. Attached to the back is a Manned Maneuvering Unit jet pack worn by astronauts during untethered spacewalks on STS-41B and STS-41C. 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. The "Space Shuttle Atlantis" exhibit is scheduled to open June 29, 2013.Photo credit: NASA/Jim Grossmann
