NASA to Keep Shuttle Work in Palmdale: About 300 employees of Rockwell International will continue modifying the nation’s space shuttles under a decision by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The space agency had considered shifting the work--in which the shuttles undergo months-long changes for upcoming missions--to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The Rockwell workers are currently modifying the shuttle Atlantis and are scheduled to work on Columbia and Discovery during the next two years, NASA said.
