Florida’s Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll, left, gets the feel of the commander’s seat on the flight deck of space shuttle Atlantis during a tour of Kennedy Space Center’s Orbiter Processing Facility-1. Kennedy Director Bob Cabana, a former astronaut, is right at home in the pilot’s seat beside her.

The tour coincided with Carroll’s visit to Kennedy for a meeting with Cabana. Atlantis is being prepared for public display at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in 2013. The groundbreaking for Atlantis’ exhibit hall took place in January Atlantis is scheduled to be moved to the visitor complex in November. For more information, visit http://www.nasa.gov/shuttle.
