Final Space Shuttle Launch STS-135

NASA's Space Shuttle Atlantis rose from the launch pad on a plume of fire high into the clouds on its way to the International Space Station into its place in history. The 11:29 a.m. EDT liftoff on July 8, 2011, marked the last time a space shuttle would climb from Kennedy's seaside launch complex to soar toward the heavens.

The crew of four veteran astronauts aboard Atlantis -- Commander Chris Ferguson, Pilot Doug Hurley, and Mission Specialists Sandy Magnus and Rex Walheim -- launched on the STS-135 mission to deliver a stockpile of supplies and parts to the space station.
