Space Shuttle Atlantis, Space museum at Kennedy Space Center, United States
The Space Shuttle Atlantis hangs suspended at a 43-degree angle inside a dedicated building, displaying its open payload bay doors and robotic arm.
After completing 33 missions between 1985 and 2011, including the final flight of the Space Shuttle Program, Atlantis found its permanent home at Kennedy Space Center.
The spacecraft represents a period of advancement in American space exploration, connecting generations through educational exhibits about human spaceflight achievements.
Visitors can experience over 60 interactive exhibits, including astronaut training simulators and a theater showcasing the Hubble Space Telescope missions.
The facility features a full-scale external tank and solid rocket boosters at the entrance, standing 184 feet tall against the Florida sky.
