SPACE CENTER HOUSTON NASA’S INDEPENDENCE PLAZA OPENED LATE LAST MONTH. The 240-ton complex will support the 159-ton shuttle carrier aircraft NASA 905 and the 80ton shuttle replica Independence. This will be the world’s only shuttle mounted on a shuttle carrier aircraft allowing the public to enter both. Visitors can enter Independence and experience how the astronauts piloted the orbiter through missions, see the cramped living conditions of the mid-deck, walk out into the payload bay to see an actual flown artifact from STS-49 and enter shuttle carrier aircraft NASA 905, giving them a glimpse of the shuttle program and all the challenges the bright minds working on it had to overcome. www.spacecenter.org february 16 | L O C A L 5
