Designboom Spotlights the Space Shuttle Atlantis Exhibit
Leading design site explores Fisher Marantz Stone's work at Kennedy Space Center
Cape Canaveral, FL
Designboom recently featured the Space Shuttle Atlantis Exhibit at the Kennedy Space Center. The popular website took a look at the exhibit's innovative use of tunable light techniques, which were used to recreate the unsual lighting conditions in space.
Architects PGAV Destinations worked with design firm Fisher Marantz Stone to light the shuttle, using over 250 Lumenpulse LED fixtures to help display the orbiter in full flight mode.

The exhibit is a source of pride for Lumenpulse President and CEO Francois-Xavier Souvay, as it gives Atlantis a fitting send-off.
“Anyone interested in NASA’s space shuttle program, or the orbiter itself, would have been disappointed to see it displayed in a traditional museum setting. This modern, dynamic lighting design brings visitors nose to nose with Atlantis, as it would appear in space. It’s very dramatic, and very appropriate for such an important piece of space history. We’re honored to have been a part of this exciting exhibit,” he said.
