Shuttle Endeavour:

Inside Kennedy's Orbiter Processing Facility-2, the tail cone has been installed around Endeavour's trio of replica shuttle main engines. The aerodynamic tail cone will protect the engines during the upcoming ferry flight to California Science Center in Los Angeles, where Endeavour will go on permanent public display. The flight is scheduled for mid-September.

Shuttle Atlantis:

Shuttle Atlantis is being temporarily stored in the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Atlantis is scheduled to return to Orbiter Processing Facility-2 in August to complete transition and retirement processing. Atlantis is being prepared for public display at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex and is scheduled to roll over to the complex in November. The Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex is targeting a July 2013 grand opening for Atlantis' new home.

Sad.
