 This NASA HD space video explains the Space Shuttle Atlantis's final mission into orbit. Constructed by the Rockwell International company in Southern California and delivered to the Kennedy Space Center in Eastern Florida in April 1985, Atlantis is the fourth operational and the second-to-last Space Shuttle built. Its maiden flight was STS-51-J from 3 to 7 October 1985. 

 At 5:57 a.m. EDT on July 21, 2011, space shuttle Atlantis landed for the final time at Kennedy Space Center after 200 orbits around Earth and a journey of 5,284,862 miles on the STS-135 mission and final flight for the Space Shuttle Program.

SpaceX is to take over the continuing mission of NASA.
