At NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, technicians monitor the progress as space shuttle Atlantis is towed out of the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) transfer aisle and around to the VAB high bay 4 doors.

Shuttle Atlantis will remain in temporary storage in high bay 4, while Space Shuttle Program transition and retirement work continues on Discovery and Endeavour in the orbiter processing facilities. Atlantis is being prepared for display at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett
