This July 10, 2011 NASA TV video image shows the space shuttle Atlantis docking with the International Space Station(ISS). Raffaello, multipurpose logistics module (MPLM) carring several tons of supplies and spare parts for the ISS can be seen in the shuttle cargo bay. Atlantis began its 12-day journey on Friday with a flawless liftoff from Kennedy Space Center that was watched locally by hundreds of thousands of tourists, and marked the last-ever blastoff of the three decade long program. The flight marks the end of an era for NASA, leaving Americans with no actively operating government-run human spaceflight program and no method for sending astronauts to space until private industry comes up with a new capsule, likely by 2015 at the earliest.
