Spectators watch and celebrate the lift off of Shuttle Atlantis on mission STS-135 at Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral, Florida, USA, 08 July 2011. Atlantis crew members Commander Chris Ferguson, Pilot Doug Hurley, Mission Specialist Rex Walheim, and Sandra Magnus left on launch pad 39-A for the final launch of the shuttle program. Atlantis will be the last Space Shuttle to launch in the NASA Space Shuttle Program to the International Space Station and will be on a twelve day mission. EPA/SHAWN THEW

Commander Chris Ferguson is commanding a crew of three others that are flying shuttle Atlantis on its final mission and the final mission of the space shuttle program to deliver supplies to the International Space Station. The mission also will fly the Robotic Refueling Mission (RRM), an experiment designed to demonstrate and test the tools, technologies and techniques needed to robotically refuel satellites in space - even satellites not designed to be serviced. The crew also will return an ammonia pump that recently failed on the station. EPA/GARY KEMPER
