Endeavour's final launch (STS-134) 2011

STS-134 crew (L-R): Andrew Feustel, Michael Fincke, Mark Kelly, Greg H. Johnson, Greg Chamitoff, Roberto Vittori

Mission patch

Endeavour launched its final mission (STS-134), May 16, 2011.  It was the next to last shuttle flight of NASA's Space Shuttle program.  Originally thought to be the last flight, NASA decided in February 2011 that STS-135 would fly regardless of the funding situation.

Its crew was Commander Mark Kelly, Pilot Greg H. Johnson, Michael Fincke, Roberto Vittori, Andrew Feustel and Gregory Chamitoff.  Four EVAs were completed by three astronauts during the flight.  Drew Feustel, Greg Chamitoff and Michael Fincke spent a total of 28 hours and 44 minutes outside the ISS.

Endeavour landed for the final time June 1.

Happy birthday, Space Shuttle astronaut Greg H. Johnson!

Gregory H. Johnson, born May 12, 1962 in South Ruislip, Greater London, United Kingdom, is the veteran of two space shuttle flights.

His first flight was on Endeavour (STS-123) in March 2008 to the International Space Station.  The mission set a record for the longest shuttle stay at the ISS, at just over 15 days, 18 hours.

His second and final flight was on back on Endeavour (STS-134) as pilot in May-June 2011 to the ISS. It was the next to last flight of the space shuttle program.
