The Space Shuttle Atlantis move to it’s final home at Kennedy Space Center. Shuttle is rolled on the roads at Kennedy to the visitors center. The Shuttle will displayed centerpiece of a $100 million exhibit scheduled to open in July 2013.
The shuttle traveled over 125 million miles during it’s lifetime and flew on 33 missions. Atlantis is the fourth and final orbiter to be delivered to its display home since the shuttle program ended and NASA awarded the vehicles to museums last year.

Ultimately, some 60 other related exhibits will be moved in to surround Atlantis, so when the building opens to the public in July 2013 there will be something for everyone. Among the displays will be a full size Hubble Telescope model, space shuttle landing simulators and an interactive wall where mission details can be retrieved at the touch of a finger. But before any of that can happen, Atlantis first needs to complete its final journey, set for next Friday. "I think there'll be a huge sigh of relief," Macy said. "when it gets in Friday night and lands where it is supposed to and we turn the key [to the OTS] off. I think that is going to be a huge emotional kind of 'phew' moment."
