Space shuttle "Atlantis" sits on Complex 39A as NASA prepares to load the payload into the orbiter at the Kennedy Space Center, Florida on June 17, 2011. Atlantis is scheduled to launch to the International Space Station with a crew of four and the Raffaello Module on the final space shuttle mission, STS 135, at approximately 11:40 AM on July 8. Atlantis' historic mission is the last of 135 shuttle flights spanning thirty years. Atlantis and her crew will deliver equipment and supplies to support the outpost. Once Atlantis returns, she will be retired but remain at home and on display at the Kennedy Space Center's Visitor Complex..UPI/Joe Marino-Bill Cantrell
