The space shuttle Atlantis arrives at Space Florida's Exploration Park where it will pause during its 10-mile journey to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. The stop will provide a viewing opportunity for guests before completing the trip to its new home. In the foreground to the right is a future spacecraft that could take astronauts to space.
As part of transition and retirement of the Space Shuttle Program, Atlantis is to 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.
