US-SPACE-SHUTTLE-ATLANTIS
This July 19, 2011 NASA handout picture shows the space shuttle Atlantis photographed from the International Space Station(ISS) as the orbiting complex and the shuttle performed their relative separation in the early hours of Tuesday. The Raffaello multi-purpose logistics module, which transported tons of supplies to the complex, can be seen in the cargo bay. It is filled with different materials from the station for return to Earth. The crew of Atlantis undocked Tuesday from the International Space Station, wrapping up the last visit by a US shuttle to the orbiting outpost and setting its sights on an emotional homecoming. With a spectacular orbital sunrise illuminating a vessel in the sunset of its career, Atlantis maneuvered away from the ISS at 0628 GMT about 350 kilometers (217 miles) above the Pacific Ocean. The shuttle is scheduled for a predawn touch-down Thursday at 5:56 am (0956 GMT) at Florida's Kennedy Space Center.
