Decolation of the space shuttle Atlantis. 05/2009 - STS - 125 lift - off - Decolation of the space shuttle Atlantis with the crew of the mission STS-125. This 11-day mission aims to maintain the Hubble space telescope. May 11, 2009. Space shuttle Atlantis roars into the cloudy sky above Launch Pad 39A at Nasa's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on the STS - 125 mission. Blue cones of light, mach diamonds, can be seen beneath the engine nozzles. The mach diamonds are a formation of shock waves in the exhaust plume of an aerospace propulsion system. Atlantis will meet with Nasa's Hubble Space Telescope. Liftoff was on time at 2:01 p.m. EDT. Atlantis' 11 - day flight will include five spacewalks to refurbish and upgrade the telescope with state - of - the - art science instruments that will expand Hubble's capabilities and extend its operational lifespan through at least 2014. The payload includes a Wide Field Camera 3, fine guidance sensor and the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph. May 11 2009

With nearly 7 million pounds of thrust generated with the aid of twin solid rocket boosters, space shuttle Atlantis roars into the blue skies over Launch Pad 39A at Nasa's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Liftoff on its STS - 129 mission came at 2:28 p.m. EST Nov. 16 2009. Aboard are crew members Commander Charles O. Hobaugh; Pilot Barry E. Wilmore; and Mission Specialists Leland Melvin, Randy Bresnik, Mike Foreman and Robert L. Satcher Jr. On STS - 129, the crew will deliver two Express Logistics Carriers to the International Space Station, the largest of the shuttle's cargo carriers, containing 15 spare pieces of equipment including two gyroscopes, two nitrogen tank assemblies, two pump modules, an ammonia tank assembly and a spare latching end effector for the station's robotic arm. Atlantis will return to Earth a station crew member, Nicole Stott, who has spent more than two months aboard the orbiting laboratory.

Space shuttle Endeavour approaches Runway 15 on the Shuttle Landing Facility at Nasa's Kennedy Space Center in Florida for the final time. Main gear touchdown was at 2:34:51 a.m. (EDT) on June 1, 2011, followed by nose gear touchdown at 2:35:04 a.m., and wheelstop at 2:35:36 a.m. Onboard are NASA astronauts Mark Kelly, STS - 134 commander; Greg H. Johnson, pilot; Michael Fincke, Andrew Feustel, Greg Chamitoff and European Space Agency astronaut Roberto Vittori, all mission specialists. STS-134 delivered the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer - 2 (AMS) and the Express Logistics Carrier - 3 (ELC-3) to the International Space Station. AMS will help researchers understand the origin of the universe and search for evidence of dark matter, strange matter and antimatter from the station. ELC - 3 carried spare parts that will sustain station operations once the shuttles are retired from service. STS - 134 was the 25th and final flight for Endeavour, which has spent 299 days in space, orbited Earth 4,671 times and traveled 122,883,151 miles

Shuttle Atlantis - Last Shuttle Flight - July 2011 - Liftoff of Space Shuttle Atlantis - Final mission of Space Shuttle Program. July 2011 - Launch of the Atlantis space shuttle on July 8, 2011. Mission STS-135, last flight of American space shuttles. Smoke and steam billow outward as space shuttle Atlantis lifts off on twin columns of flame from Launch Pad 39A at Nasa's Kennedy Space Center in Florida as it begins its STS - 135 mission to the International Space Station. Atlantis with its crew of four; Commander Chris Ferguson, Pilot Doug Hurley, Mission Specialists Sandy Magnus and Rex Walheim, lifted off at 11:29 a.m. EDT on July 8, 2011 to deliver the Raffaello multi - purpose logistics module packed with supplies and spare parts for the station. Atlantis also will fly the Robotic Refueling Mission experiment that will investigate the potential for robotically refueling existing satellites in orbit. In addition, Atlantis will return with a failed ammonia pump module to help NASA better understand the failure mechanism and improve pump designs for future systems. STS - 135 is the 33rd flight of Atlantis, the 37th shuttle mission to the space station, and the 135th and final mission of NASA's Space Shuttle Program

Atlantis amarree la station spatiale 07/2011 - Atlantis docked to the International Space station 07/2011 - The space shuttle Atlantis moored to the International Space Station (ISS) on July 18, 2011. Mission STS-135, the last United States space shuttle mission. This view of the space shuttle Atlantis while still docked with the International Space Station was taken by a crew member aboard the station on the final day of joint activities between the crew members for the STS - 135 and Expedition 28 missions. The robotic arm on the shuttle appears to be saluting “” good - bye”” to the station. Earth's airglow is seen as a thin blue line above Earth's horizon. The Raffaello multi - purpose logistics module, full of items to be returned to Earth, is seen in the aft cargo bay. 18 July 2011
