Please note that due to construction on the new orbiter home for Atlantis, the Space Shuttle Plaza has been permanently closed.
In the Space Shuttle Plaza, guests are met with a jaw-dropping, full-sized NASA Space Shuttle replica – Explorer.
Here you can experience how astronauts live and work aboard real Space Shuttles. Sharing the plaza with Explorer are the other components needed to launch NASA Space Shuttles: A huge external fuel tank and twin solid rocket boosters.
Next to the Space Shuttle Explorer is the Mission Status Center, where visitors receive live briefings on NASA launch and space flight activity.
Please see the daily schedule for show times.
Just across from the Space Shuttle Explorer, you can experience the sights, sounds and sensations of launch at the Shuttle Launch Experience.
