ATLANTIS IN ORBIT... Shown in this entry are photos taken before Atlantis docked with the International Space Station (ISS) for the final time yesterday. A one-day mission extension was granted by NASA officials this morning, which means that Atlantis will be docked to the ISS till July 19, with a return to Kennedy Space Center in Florida now taking place on July 21 (instead of July 20th...the 42nd anniversary of Apollo 11 landing on the Moon).
