Space shuttle Atlantis casts as it approaches the Vehicle Assembly Building on its move from Orbiter Processing Facility 2.

Space shuttle Atlantis casts a wide shadow as it approaches the 525-foot-tall Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on its move from Orbiter Processing Facility-2.

Atlantis will be stored temporarily in the VAB while transition and retirement processing resumes on shuttle Endeavour in the processing hangar. Endeavour is being prepared for public display at the California Science Center in Los Angeles. A groundbreaking was held Jan. 18 for Atlantis' future home -- a 65,000-square-foot exhibit in Shuttle Plaza at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex.
