Here’s a gallery of images from the last scheduled launch of space shuttle Atlantis, taken by Universe Today photographer Alan Walters (check out his website!), writer Ken Kremer, and a few from NASA. It was a beautiful day and a beautiful launch. But was it really Atlantis’ last? Only time will tell, but for now enjoy these great images.







For larger versions of the NASA images, see the STS-132 gallery on NASA’s Human Spaceflight website. We’ll keep you updated on the status of the mission.
Watching a space shuttle lauch is one of top 3 reasons I would visit USA.
Well, you’d better do it soon, because )if I’m not wrong) there are only 2 more flights remaining 🙁
Hope & wish this wouldn,t be the last photo of Atlantis lift off
For tristancalin and everyone,
I had my first opportunity to see the big boys light off their toys for the STS-132 flight. (And I am old enough to remember seeing Alan Sherpard’s launch on TV) I can only say that it is worth the trouble, regardless of how far you have to travel, to see the show.
