Description
First Flight of Space Shuttle Atlantis. Oct. 3, 1985.
Image of the takeoff of Atlantis from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center on her first flight.
Atlantis was the fourth operational and the second-to-last Space Shuttle built. Its maiden flight was STS-51-J from 3 to 7 October 1985.
Atlantis embarked on the final Space Shuttle mission, STS-135, on 8 July 201.
By the end of that mission, Atlantis had orbited the Earth almost 5,000 times, completing over 525 times the distance from the Earth to the Moon.
