Last Friday , after 27 years of service , NASA power down space shuttle Discovery for the very last clock time . This week , space shuttle Atlantis — which five month ago today touched down at Kennedy Space Center , marking the end of the US Space Shuttle Program — will share the same fortune .
In the do weeks , Atlantis will be disemboweled , its inside strip bare to control that that the craft is light enough to be display safely at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida . Here ’s your chance to catch a rare glimpse of Atlantis ’ entire inside , powered and lit for the very last prison term .
The images , which were were captured last week by collectSPACE.com ’s Robert Z. Pearlman , unveil the telling regalia of screens and orchestration sprawled across every visible surface of the shuttlecock ’s flight pack of cards .
These are just a few picture from a larger exposure gallery that search Antlantis ’ flying deck , middeck , and 60 - base payload embayment . The entire galleryis fantabulous , and is emphatically worth turn back out . [ collectSPACE ]
