CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Members of the news media gather at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex for the announcement of the opening date that the facility will officially open and for the unveiling of the exhibit's newly designed logo. The 'Space Shuttle Atlantis' exhibit will open June 29, 2013. Last November, the space shuttle Atlantis made its historic final journey to its new home, traveling 10 miles from the Kennedy Space Center's Vehicle Assembly Building to the spaceport's visitor complex. The new $100 million Atlantis facility will be a 90,000-square-foot, interactive exhibit that tells the story of the 30-year Space Shuttle Program and highlights the future of space exploration.
