Photographers take pictures of space shuttle Atlantis as it completes the 10-mile trip from the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida to the Kennedy Visitor Complex.
As part of transition and retirement of the Space Shuttle Program, Atlantis will be displayed 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 during 307 days in space over 33 missions. For more information, visit http://www.nasa.gov/transition.
