Mission
STS 135 was launched from Cape Canaveral on 08 July 2011 at 15:29 UT by the shuttle Atlantis. It docked with the International Space Station's (ISS) Harmony module on 10 July 2011 at 15:07 UT. This shuttle launch carried a crew of four and marked the 135th and final Space Shuttle mission. The mission's primary cargo was the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module (MPLM) Raffaello and a Lightweight Multi-Purpose Carrier (LMC). The Multi-Purpose Logistics Module (MPLM) will be filled with 3919 kg of supplies for the station and its six crew members. The STS 135 mission was solely designed to stock the complex with as many supplies and spare parts as possible for sustenance of the outpost and its crews in the post-shuttle era. The mission lasted 13 days ending with a landing at Cape Canaveral on 21 July 2011 at 09:55 UT.
