WELCOME HOME SPACE SHUTTLE ATLANTIS- You can’t miss the entrance to the home of space shuttle Atlantis: a mighty full-scale space shuttle stack of two solid rocket boosters and orange external tank. Inside, Atlantis is displayed as only astronauts have seen her in space, rotated 43.21 degrees with payload doors open and Canadarm extended, as if just undocked from the International Space Station (ISS). One of three space-flown shuttles displayed in the United States, Space Shuttle Atlantis^® showcases the orbiter spacecraft and tells the story of NASA’s 30-year Space Shuttle Program.
