Space Shuttle Atlantis
Stop in to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Center and see the amazing display of the Space Shuttle Atlantis. The Space Shuttle Atlantis is displayed as only astronauts have seen her in space, with payload doors open and Canadarm extended, as if just undocked from the International Space Station (ISS).
Below are some photographs and 3D Laser Scans of the Shuttle Atlantis.
About the Author and Photographer: Alden Pitard has over 40 years experience working in the Aerospace Industry at Cape Canaveral, The Kennedy Space Center (KSC) and Boeing locations throughout the country. He has supported the Space Shuttle Program, International Space Station, 787 Dreamliner and most recently the Artemis Program. During his time at "The Cape" he photographed a majority of the Launch Sites at KSC and Cape Canaveral. As the Space Shuttle program was coming to a close in 2011, the author decided to bike to all the Launch Complexes he could and capture the Space Center and Cape Canaveral as it was - thus "Biking through Space Ruins".
