NASA's space shuttles Endeavour and Atlantis switched locations today at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, and in the process came nose-to-nose for the last time in front of Orbiter Processing Facility (OPF) 3.<br /><br />Endeavour was moved from OPF 2 to the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) where it will be housed temporarily until its targeted departure from Kennedy atop the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft in mid-September. After a stop at the Los Angeles International Airport, Endeavour will move in mid-October to the California Science Center for permanent public display.<br /><br />Now in the processing facility after leaving the VAB, shuttle Atlantis will undergo preparations for its move to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in November, with a grand opening planned for July 2013.
