- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- Space shuttle Commander Chris Ferguson and crewmates Pilot Doug Hurley, and Mission Specialists Sandy Magnus and Rex Walheim are on their way to the International Space Station after launching from NASA's Kennedy Space Center at 11:29 a.m. EDT on Friday, July 8. STS-135 is the final mission of NASA's Space Shuttle Program.
The 12-day mission will deliver the Raffaello multi-purpose logistics module filled with more than 8,000 pounds of supplies and spare parts to sustain space station operations after the shuttles are retired. STS-135 is the 135th shuttle flight, the 33rd flight for Atlantis and the 37th shuttle mission dedicated to station assembly and maintenance,
"Atlantis flexing her muscles, one final time" - that brings me down everytime I hear it. I hate to see this magnificent machines stop flying. I hope I live long enough to see us reach for Mars, and further.
Just love the sound when engine starts
I was four years old when the shuttle first flew, and it basically defined my entire childhood. I dearly miss seeing it fly.
I was crying. I was really crying when this happened.
+Jillips Entertainment I was crying when it landed.
Farewell to the most beautiful spaceship to grace the stars.
The most awesome machine ever built! There is nothing - literally nothing that can touch the Space Shuttle!
i respect your opinion but how about the orion spacecraft which went to pluto, or the mars rover a man made device that went to another planet tens of millions of miles away, or the voyager 1, the first man made device to reach outside the solar system over 10 billion miles away, or at least outside the orbit of pluto, or even the helios 1 which went an amazing 157,000 mph, and dont forget the particle coliders in europe
+StarOceanSora360 Orion never went to pluto.
Extreme Tutorials something was accomplished
New Horizon went, Orion is the new NASA capsule.
I watched the first launch live on TV in the spring of my life, and saw the last launch live on TV in the Autumn of my life LOL.
God Bless to all those who was involved in the Space Shuttle program. To all of those BEHIND the scenes and to those who flew. To those who gave us their lives, Scobee, Smith,McNair,Jarvis,Resnik,Onizuka,Mcauliffe, and Husband, McCool,Ramon,Anderson,Chawla,Clark,Brown; We love you and we thank you. Our exploration of space could not be done without you. Steve, Tweed Heads, Australia.
I wathced this live this morning, just as I have done with the first one back in April '81. Loved every missions. Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Endeavour and Atlantic - thanks for the fantastic ride. All will be sad;y missed!!!! 3 cheers to the Space Shuttle.....you did us well.
@2:43 - Just after Solid Rocket Booster separation, watch closely and you can see the shuttle maneuvering slightly. The shuttle's guidance system has just transitioned from open-loop to closed-loop. Upon achieving converged guidance, the gimbaled Shuttle Main Engines steer the orbiter toward the proper orbital entry point.
I watched this live today! One of the best experiences of my life!
"Go at throttle up."
"The final flight of the Space Shuttle program was STS-135 on July 8, 2011." :-(
Space shuttle Atlantis is my favorite Space shuttle. Glad to see the launches it had.
Thank you so much, NASA, for a beautiful show for 30 years. This has been the most interesting 30 years of the space program. We hope we can continue the quest for Moon, Mars and beyond. I learned a lot from the shuttle program from STS-1 to the the "Major malfunction" anomaly, to STS-95 to the "Columbia, Houston UHF com check" era and finally to STS-135. We will continue to improve and grow in our knowledge because "we were made to explore", as what every one of the astronauts proclaimed
Bravo NASA, you've done beautifully over the past 30 years. We hope that the shuttle program has taught us many lessons and that we can go further in space exploration.
Got up at 6 to watch her launch, stayed up all night to watch her land. Was 100% worth it.
Thank you NASA for this, we loved the shuttles all these years. From Spain.., GOD BLESS AMERICA!
I never saw a shuttle launch in person, but Atlantis was on the pad when I visited Kennedy Space Center way back in 1996 (Columbia had launched just 2 days prior), so I definitely feel something special watching this video, like seeing an old friend again, and for the last time at that.
Very sad to see the shuttle go, but probably for the best in the long run.
Absolutely amazing to see this thru a camera going along for the ride!
Thanks NASA for a great 30 years of service of the space shuttle. You made astromony and the power of flight fun!
I love everything about the space program I think it is cool as hell.
I bet im not the only one that teared up during this video.
So long Shuttle, you will be missed. :'(
"All three engines up and burning"
lol ;)
Congrats to NASA and whole USA! Time to start new and more exciting things!
Go, Old Girl...you made America proud..
Wow! I'm completely speechless. It's phenomenal!
It's the last chance to see. I'm going to miss it very much.
Such a beautiful spectacle. I only wish I could've witnessed this one in person. God speed astronauts!
God be with them! Thank You to all the astonauts!!!
it's so... beautiful.
NASA, you're AWESOME!!!
Loved the launch! I saw it from Titusville! :D
Fantastic. I remember watching the first space shuttle in class when I was in Grade 5.
How can people hate this video. Its shows the last Space shuttle mission.
Goodbye you fantastic bird. You will be missed but not forgotten.
This is a great job! Looking forward to an uneventful, and safe landing!
I missed the actual Shuttle Launch on NASA TV on friday, but watching it back was soo Cool & AWESOME!! :) Looks like they had a good launch & I hope they get back home safe in a few weeks. :)
bittersweet. the first few minutes of the last flight
Well, the mission turned out well too!!
who could dislike this!
i saw this live=] it was AWSOME!
A dream of mine that came true. I drove all night from Huntsville Al to see it. And would do it again. Thank you NASA for a beautiful launch. It was as if I was 10 again watching Neil Armstrong take that first historic step on the Moon.
I really thought that nothing cool or noticeable happened on my birthday, but now this did so Awesome!
STS was as big step as the Mercury and Apollo programs. Space shuttle flights will always be a monument to human technical thought and the desire to explore what's around us. I regret that we never see the start time in live.
dislikes .... So, if someone does not go after the four walls, we can not require too much ...
sorry, my english is poor
I don't know a world without Shuttles, because when STS-1 launched in 1981 I was -11 years old, so this is gonna be new for me.
These are sad moments because I know that, by ending the Shuttle program without any similar replacement in which the knowledge gained with the Shuttles could be applied, the entire world's throwing 30 years of effort and sacrifice to the trash. We won't learn anything new by orbiting in cones again and a great connection between aviation and space will be lost.
the shuttle program also brought people from various countries together. ive watched much video of footage from the mir space station and the iss and i always saw how friendly people from around the world were to each other on these stations. it gave people like me a sign that some people of various races and cultures can get along together to achieve a common goal. now without the shuttle program, america's space travel is in a coma thanks to the current state of our economy.
i'm really going to miss the shuttle. I feel like i grew up with the thing. I'll regret never seeing a launch but it's a bitter/sweet farewell.
america having a presence in space was one of the biggest prides of being an american, at least when i was growing up. although it wasnt done on a shuttle, apollo 11's trip to the moon is still one of the most historial signs of pride and triumph in american history. it was one of the biggest events that made people proud to be an american. now with our only means of space travel gone for now, many of us americans feel like much of that pride has been torn from our souls, its depressing.
ive only seen one shuttle launch in my life, and its definitely one day to remember. this is a sad day as the iconic American space shuttle program is now over
TY NASA for your contributions to science. Quantum physic has advanced from ideas to actions over the past half century in technology. The way we look at light and dark matter has been as significant as Galileo's ideas in his time. Even though our shuttle missions are ending new doors are opening internationally. Still it is sad to say good-by to this program.
A bittersweet day. Beautiful launch but it's the last one.. at least for those lovely old birds.
To Boldly Go....... In fascination, with the eyes of the world we stare. Thank you NASA for allowing us all to look up at the stars to wonder and dream. We Come In Peace for ALL mankind. Ex Astris, Scientia!
miss it already...
This is so sad! I can't believe future generations would never experience routine space shuttle nations. I will miss the space shuttle take-offs that song long intervened with my childhood years.
this was only the second shuttle launch ive ever watched live and it was a nail biter for me. the reason why is because of the challenger tragedy in 1986. i remember it being posted all over the news on tv for months because one of the astronauts that died in the explosion (elison onizuka) was from hawaii which was where i was living at the time. that image that was shown countless times of challenger going up in a hurling ball of flame was forever seared into my brain. i held my breath watching
I admire your optimism
cool
We have nothing now.
they we're all fine ships. each and every one.
That last separation was so very cool. They should have had Star Trek music over that part!
I would love to look down at the earth just once in my lifetime
always wish I could one day be in one of those! Space travel!
@JOSEPHKORSSIA That was simply foam from the shuttle's external fuel tank. In space, as energy is transferred differently than in the earth's atmosphere. So when the shuttle began to come engage a MECO, the energy is transferred from it to the tank.
God Speed, Atlantis!
this is so cool
When it enters the clouds and the glare appears my heart just stopped beating u.u, but after leaving and everything was fine, life returned to me to belong!
@bull2026 actually the 'smoke' you see is actually completly harmless, as the fuel is liquid oxygen it doesnt cause any enviromental impact at all, infact, it can cause it to rain after launch
Another era finish.
the reson the video starts at 30 seconds is because twenty seconds before the event controler malfunctioned and did not report the binny cap retracted but video of the pad showed the binny cap was in it's launch cradal and Mike Lambac gave the go for launch again and 30 seconds later Atlantis was off and the Shuttle Program was over. LONG LIVE THE SHUTTLE
so it comes to an end STS 135 the Shuttle Era is officaly over I am going to miss these old girls up in space.
Have a good flight
I didn't watch this live because it made my sad,I'm just seeing the launch now
wow....space its beutiful....
oh man! sounds great!
. . ."filled with travelers whom, he said, would not fear the vastness of space" -Carl Sagan
It's good that everything passed ok
i saw this today at Huntsville Space Center witnessing the live show on NASA
i watched sts-1 before this to remember the coragous astronauts that risked there lives in sace.The space shuttles columbia,challenger,the test shuttle enterprise,endeavour, discovery,and atlantis will be remembered as some of the most valuable peaces of history.
how could someone dislike this?
Such a sad day, I really hope NASA comes up with something utterly similar to the Space Shuttle.
@haileytwiheart17 Not at all. These guys are trained professionals, but I can't help but think their hearts sunk a little bit as it lifted off the pad. Mine did. Thanks for the memories, NASA.
Why the hell would anyone dislike this?
the reason why im pretty depressed over all this is because i grew up with the shuttle program. i remember when the first shuttle mission was launched when i was a kid back in 1981, since then ive looked at astronauts as role models because of their bravery. now my own country has no space presence and what about our involvement with the iss? plus america having a shuttle program always gave some people hope that they could one day explore past the earth's orbit.
SO amazing!
Remeber watching that launch on tv. XD
farewell space shuttle
@aimhigh59 Thank you for your help and in-site it was greatly appreciated.
@Airplanes0915 I'm with you 100%.
I too, wish I was able to see a launch in person, the closest I came was when I was in Bradenton FL once, we were able to watch from Bishop Planetarium & Museum.
~~~
Very sad to see this amazing journey come to a end & wish all the people involved nothing but the best. Jobs are hard to find, even with a degree or two.

God Speed Atlantis & Crew of mission 135

Excellent Stuff!! Thanks NASA!!
Amazing
just ...thumbs up and favorite
@aimhigh59 that's a good point, i guess comparing to a battery was not the right choice, however my point was that the energy source is limited because fuel cells are not like solar power cells in the sense that they can generate power from sunlight. Anyway I think a plutonium isotope is a better choice.
@aimhigh59 it's still similar to a battery because it is considered stored energy, rather than energy that can be generated like solar cells.
0:40 "America will continue the dream" is an epic mistake. It's years an international coorporation.
But very cool video, so bad this is the last Space Shuttle Launch! :(
saw this live, was amazing!
@intrptr Both times the robot arm was useless and humans with rocket packs had to repair the Hubble. They might have been able to do the same thing in a Mercury capsule. The 1.6 billion p/shuttle flight probably cost more than a new Hubble.
Watch closely at 8:45 near the top of the screen. A gremlin appears and starts to bang on the ship, knocking it loose, but wasn't quick enough to do any damage!
I miss the shuttle program already...
bye atlantis! amazing lift off!
Mute it at 0:21 and play "Suspension" , the theme to Buck Rogers. SWEEEEEEET!!!!!!
