Mission patch


Space Shuttle Atlantis (STS-132), launched May 14, 2010, was the penultimate flight of Atlantis.  Its crew consisted of Commander Kenneth Ham, Pilot Dominic Antonelli, Garrett Reisman, Michael Good, Stephen Bowen, and Piers Sellers.

The primary mission was to deliver the Russian Rassvet Mini-Research Module to the International Space Station.

Reisman, Bowen, and Good performed three EVAs for a total of over 20 hours.  The crew returned to Earth May 26.

This was to be the last flight of Atlantis but NASA declared that Atlantis would fly the final mission of the entire space shuttle program, STS-135.
