Image Description:
Space shuttle Atlantis, the final orbiter among NASA's spaceplane fleet to fly in space, launched on its new mission on June 29th 2013 as the centerpiece of a $100 million tourist attraction in Florida. Inside the five-story building, Atlantis has been mounted 30 feet (9 meters) above the ground and angled 43.21 degrees to one side. The shuttle's payload bay doors have been opened and a detailed replica of its robotic arm has been installed and extended such that it just reaches over the heads of visitors. Theatrical lighting and a 40-foot-long (12-meter) animated digital backdrop helps complete the illusion that Atlantis is back in space, orbiting the Earth.
