The US space shuttle Atlantis will blast off for the last time on Friday 8 July ending NASA's 30-year programme.
Four crew members will be dropping off a year's worth of supplies at the International Space Station. They'll be in orbit軌道 for 12-days and travel 6.5 million kilometres during the sortie出擊任務.
In total, 355 astronauts太空人 will have flown on the shuttle since the inaugural就職 mission任務 in 1981.
