The Space Shuttle Atlantis (Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-104) is now one of the two remaining operational Space Shuttle orbiter in the Space Shuttle fleet belonging to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the spaceflight and space exploration agency of the United States[2] (the other operational Space Shuttle being Endeavour). The Atlantis was the fourth operational (and the next-to-the-last) Space Shuttle to be constructed by the Rockwell International company in Southern California, and she was delivered to the John F. Kennedy Space Center in eastern Florida in April 1985.[3][4] Atlantis is the only orbiter which lacks the ability to draw power from the International Space Station while docked there, it must continue to provide its own power through fuel cells

Space Shuttle Atlantis has no followers yet. Be the first one to follow.
International Space Station resupply using the Raffaello Multi-Purpose Logistics Module and the Lightweight Multi-Purpose Carrier (LMC). The failed ammonia pump module that was replaced in August 2010 is expected to be returned inside Atlantis' payload bay. This is the final mission of Space Shuttle Atlantis and the last mission for the Space Shuttle Program.
