NASA Administrator Charles Bolden is seen in silhouette, left, as he shook hands with workers atop the Mobile Launch Platform as space shuttle Atlantis rolled out of High Bay 3 in the Vehicle Assembly Building to Launch Pad 39A for its final flight, Tuesday, May 31, 2011, at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Fla. The 3.4-mile trek, known as rollout, took about seven hours to complete. On STS-135, the orbiter’s final, Atlantis will carry the Raffaello multipurpose logistics module to deliver supplies and spare parts to the International Space Station. The launch of STS-135 is targeted for July 8. Image Credit: NASA/Bill Ingalls

Space shuttle Atlantis’ main gear touched down on Runway 33 at the Shuttle Landing Facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 8:48 a.m. EDT, completing a 12-day mission to the International Space Station.

On board were Commander Ken Ham, pilot Tony Antonelli, Garrett Reisman, Michael Good, Steve Bowen and Piers Sellers. The six-member STS-132 crew carried the Russian-built Mini Research Module-1 to the International Space Station. STS-132 is the last planned flight for Atlantis. Image Credit: NASA/Carl Winebarger

During the spacewalk, Good and Reisman completed the installation of the final two of the six new batteries for the B side of the port 6 solar array.

In addition, the astronauts installed a backup ammonia jumper cable between the port 4 and 5 trusses of the station and transferred a power and data grapple fixture from the shuttle to the station. Image Credit: NASA
