The Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex marked a visible milestone on its countdown towards the June 29 grand opening of Space Shuttle Atlantis, the $100 million home for the historic orbiter that tells the story of NASA’s 30-year space shuttle program. Using a 200-foot-tall crane, the lower segments for two full-size, high-fidelity solid rocket boosters were installed Thursday. When mated with a model of the external tank, the rocket “stack” will serve as the 184-foot-tall gateway under which visitors will pass to visit the shuttle Atlantis attraction.
