Technicians tow space shuttle Atlantis into High Bay 4 of the Vehicle Assembly Building after a short move from Orbiter Processing Facility Bay 1 at NASA's Kennedy Space Center.
The work is part of the Space Shuttle Program's transition and retirement processing of the space shuttle fleet. A groundbreaking was held Jan. 18 for Atlantis' future home, a 65,000-square-foot exhibit hall in Shuttle Plaza at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. Atlantis is scheduled to roll over to the visitor complex in November in preparation for the exhibit's grand opening in July 2013. For more information, visit http://www.nasa.gov/transition.
