CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – NASA's Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, or SCA, turns into position on the runway at the Shuttle Landing at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida with space shuttle Endeavour piggyback. Takeoff came at 7:22 a.m. EDT. The SCA, a modified 747 jetliner, will fly Endeavour to Los Angeles where it will be placed on public display at the California Science Center. This is the final ferry flight scheduled in the Space Shuttle Program era. For more information on the shuttles' transition and retirement, visit http://www.nasa.gov/transition.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - The orbiter Discovery makes a safe landing on Runway 15 at NASA's Shuttle Landing Facility, completing mission STS-121 to the International Space Station. Discovery traveled 5.3 million miles, landing on orbit 202. Mission elapsed time was 12 days, 18 hours, 37 minutes and 54 seconds. Main gear touchdown occurred on time at 9:14:43 EDT. Wheel stop was at 9:15:49 EDT. The returning crew members are Commander Steven Lindsey, Pilot Mark Kelly and Mission Specialists Piers Sellers, Michael Fossum, Lisa Nowak and Stephanie Wilson. Mission Specialist Thomas Reiter, who launched with the crew on July 4, remained on the station to join the Expedition 13 crew there. The landing is the 62nd at Kennedy Space Center and the 32nd for Discovery. Discovery's landing was as exhilarating as its launch, the first to take place on America's Independence Day. During the mission, the STS-121 crew tested new equipment and procedures to improve shuttle safety, and delivered supplies and made repairs to the International Space Station.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Space shuttle Discovery, mounted to a Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, slowly rolls along the runway of the Shuttle Landing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The duo is set to begin their 3 1/2 hour ferry flight to the Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia at about 7 a.m. EDT. Above the two craft is a NASA helicopter covering the departure. Discovery is leaving Kennedy after more than 28 years of service beginning with its arrival on the space coast Nov. 9, 1983. Discovery first launched to space Aug. 30, 1984, on the STS-41D mission. Discovery is the agency's most-flown shuttle with 39 missions, more than 148 million miles and a total of one year in space. Discovery is set to move to the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center on April 19 where it will be placed on public display.

Zusammenfassung
STS132-S-083 (26. Mai 2010) ---- Das Hauptgetriebe des Space Shuttle Atlantis setzt auf der Landebahn 33 an der Shuttle Landing Facility im Kennedy Space Center der NASA in Florida auf. Die Landung erfolgte am 26. Mai 2010 um 8: 48 Uhr (EDT) und beendete damit die zwölftägige STS-132-Mission zur Internationalen Raumstation. Der Hauptaufsetzvorgang erfolgte um 8: 48: 11 Uhr, gefolgt vom Nasenaufsetzvorgang um 8: 48: 21 Uhr und dem Radstopp um 8: 49: 18 Uhr. An Bord sind die NASA-Astronauten Ken Ham, Kommandant; Tony Antonelli, Pilot; Garrett Reisman, Michael Good, Steve Bowen und Piers Sellers, allesamt Missionsspezialisten. Die sechsköpfige STS-132-Besatzung brachte das von Russland gebaute Mini-Forschungsmodul 1 (MRM1) zum Orbitalkomplex. STS-132 ist die 34. Shuttle-Mission zur Station, die 132. Shuttle-Mission insgesamt und der letzte geplante Flug für Atlantis.
Das Space-Shuttle-Programm war von 1981 bis 2011 das bemannte Trägerprogramm der US-Regierung, das von der NASA verwaltet wurde und 1972 offiziell begann. Das Space-Shuttle-System - bestehend aus einem Orbiter, der mit zwei wiederverwendbaren Feststoffraketen-Boostern und einem externen Treibstofftank gestartet wurde - brachte bis zu acht Astronauten und bis zu 23.000 kg Nutzlast in eine niedrige Erdumlaufbahn (LEO). Nach Abschluss seiner Mission würde der Orbiter wieder in die Erdatmosphäre eintreten und als Gleitschirm landen. Obwohl das Konzept seit den späten 1960er Jahren erforscht wurde, begann das Programm offiziell 1972 und stand nach den letzten Apollo- und Skylab-Flügen Mitte der 1970er Jahre im Mittelpunkt des bemannten NASA-Betriebs. Es begann mit dem Start des ersten Shuttles Columbia am 12. April 1981 auf STS-1. und beendete seine letzte Mission, STS-135, die von Atlantis geflogen wurde, im Juli 2011.
Space Shuttle Atlantis was a space shuttle that was operated by NASA as part of the Space Shuttle program. It was the fourth operational shuttle built, and the last one to be built before the program was retired in 2011. Atlantis was named after the first research vessel operated by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and it made its first flight in October 1985. Over the course of its career, Atlantis completed 33 missions and spent a total of 307 days in space. Its last mission was STS-135, which was the final mission of the Space Shuttle program. Atlantis is now on display at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida. Space Shuttle Atlantis (Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-104) was one of the four first operational orbiters in the Space Shuttle fleet of NASA, the space agency of the United States. (The other two are Discovery and Endeavour.) Atlantis was the fourth operational shuttle built. Atlantis is named after a two-masted sailing ship that operated from 1930 to 1966 for the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. Atlantis performed well in 25 years of service, flying 33 missions.
