Atlantis launches

The 135th and final space shuttle mission, Space shuttle Atlantis, lifted off from Cape Canaveral in Florida.

Space shuttle Atlantis carried the Raffaello multipurpose logistics module to deliver supplies, logistics and spare parts to the International Space Station. Atlantis also will fly a system to investigate the potential for robotically refueling existing spacecraft and return a failed ammonia pump module.
