Space Shuttle Atlantis launches into history at 10:29am CDT from Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida... Aboard are only four astronauts for this final mission of the Space Shuttle Program. They are: Commander Chris Ferguson, Pilot Doug Hurley and Mission Specialists Sandy Magnus and Rex Walheim. Their mission in part is delivering the Raffaello multi-purpose logistics module packed with supplies and spare parts to the orbiting outpost, the International Space Station.
