STS-135 var en flygning i USA:s rymdfärjeprogram. Flygningen gick till Internationella rymdstationen ISS och utfördes med rymdfärjan Atlantis. Uppskjutningen skedde 8 juli 2011[3]. Detta var den sista flygningen i rymdfärjeprogrammet samt Atlantis sista flygning.
NASA offentliggjorde den 14 september 2010 besättningen för uppdraget.
Aktiviteter
Endast en rymdpromenad utfördes av besättningen ombord på ISS.
Innan uppskjutning
Den 17 maj 2011 rullade Atlantis över från sin hangar till Vehicle Assembly Building, VAB, för sista gången. Under resans gång gjordes flera stopp så personal och andra intresserade kunde ta bilder av den sista överflyttningen till VAB av en rymdfärja. När Atlantis sedan var framme i VAB monterades skytteln på den externa bränsletank som då redan kopplats ihop med de två fastbränsleraketerna.
Den 1 juni 2011 rullade Atlantis ut från VAB till startplatta 39A. Detta var sista gången en rymdfärja rullade ut till startplattan från VAB.
Besättning
Christopher Ferguson befälhavare. Tidigare rymdfärder STS-115, STS-126- Douglas G. Hurley pilot. Tidigare rymdfärder STS-127
- Sandra Magnus uppdragsspecialist. Tidigare rymdfärder STS-112, Expedition 18
- Rex J. Walheim uppdragsspecialist. Tidigare rymdfärder STS-110, STS-122
Väckningar
Under Geminiprogrammet började NASA spela musik för besättningar och sedan Apollo 15 har man varje "morgon" väckt besättningen med ett särskilt musikstycke, särskilt utvalt antingen för en enskild astronaut eller för de förhållanden som råder. Under flygningen spelade man även upp en hälsning från artisten eller från anställda vi olika NASA-center.

Soyuz TMA-6 spacecraft.jpg
Backdropped by a blue and white Earth, this close-up view features the Soyuz TMA-6 spacecraft approaching the International Space Station (ISS). Onboard the spacecraft are cosmonaut Sergei K. Krikalev, Expedition 11 commander representing Russia's Federal Space Agency; astronaut John L. Phillips, NASA ISS science officer and flight engineer; and European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Roberto Vittori of Italy. The Soyuz linked to the Pirs Docking Compartment at 9:20 p.m. (CDT) on April 16, 2005 as the two spacecraft flew over eastern Asia. The docking followed Friday’s launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

The STS-135 patch represents the space shuttle Atlantis embarking on its mission to resupply the International Space Station. Atlantis is centered over elements of the NASA emblem depicting how the space shuttle has been at the heart of NASA for the last 30 years. It also pays tribute to the entire NASA and contractor team that made possible all the incredible accomplishments of the space shuttle. Omega, the last letter in the Greek alphabet, recognizes this mission as the last flight of the Space Shuttle Program.

STS-134 patch.png
The design of the STS-134 crew patch highlights research on the International Space Station (ISS) focusing on the fundamental physics of the universe. On this mission, the crew of Space Shuttle Endeavour will install the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) experiment - a cosmic particle detectorthat utilizes the first ever superconducting magnet to be flown in space. By studying sub-atomic particles in the background cosmic radiation, and searching for anti-matter and dark-matter, it will help scientists better understand the evolution and properties of our universe. The shape of the patch is inspired by the international atomic symbol, and represents the atom with orbiting electrons around the nucleus. The burst near the center refers to the big-bang theory and the origin of the universe. The Space Shuttle Endeavour and ISS fly together into the sunrise over the limb of Earth, representing the dawn of a new age, understanding the nature of the universe.
