Atlantis back to home from its final journey to space

Sorry for the late update ......spacecraft Atlantis is back home on this Wednesday from its final mission and the landing was smooth.



My earlier post was on last inspection of Atlantis before landing. Atlantis has been on 32 flights. It was first launched in October 1985. It has made 5 military missions, 7 flights to the Russian Mir Space station and 11 to ISS ( International Space Station).

It is expected that someday Atlantis will be put in museum in ground.
