NASA / Jim Grossmann
ATLANTIS DEACTIVATED... Less than a week after her sister ship Discovery was powered down for the last time, Atlantis’ own electrical systems were permanently turned off yesterday as progress continues to be made on prepping her for public display at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex—which won’t take place for more than a year. Endeavour is the only remaining shuttle to have the monitors in her glass cockpit still show data...though this will no longer be the case come next February, when NASA’s youngest orbiter will be powered down for good as well.
