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.
