Roll and rise

Space shuttle Atlantis is just one week away from making its final journey as it rolls over to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida for public display. The 12-hour, 9.8 mile trip will end as Atlantis enters its new $100 million exhibit building, but the work to display the shuttle won't end there. Inside, Atlantis' motion will change direction, as it is then lifted 36 feet into the air and tilted 43.21 degrees to one side. When it opens in July 2013, the exhibit will give visitors a chance to see Atlantis as it looked while orbiting the Earth on its 33 missions.
