CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Construction crews clean space shuttle Atlantis following the removal of 16,000 square feet of plastic shrink-wrap that enclosed the spacecraft since November of last year to protect the artifact from dust and debris during construction of the 90,000-square-foot facility. The new $100 million 'Space Shuttle Atlantis' facility will include interactive exhibits that tell the story of the 30-year Space Shuttle Program and highlights the future of space exploration. The 'Space Shuttle Atlantis' exhibit scheduled to open June 29, 2013. Photo credit: NASA_ Dmitri Gerondidakis
