Xenon lights illuminate NASA's Space Shuttle "Atlantis" on Complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on May 10, 2009. Atlantis is scheduled to launch on May 11 with a seven person crew to the Hubble Space Telescope. Five spacewalks are planned to install new instruments and thermal blankets, repair two existing instruments and replace gyroscopes. These enhancements will extend the operations of the telescope through 2014. (UPI Photo/Joe Marino - Bill Cantrell)

RM2WBMCC0–CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, xenon lights positioned at the end of Runway 15 illuminate the Shuttle Landing Facility for space shuttle Atlantis' final return from space. Securing the space shuttle fleet's place in history, Atlantis marked the 26th nighttime landing of NASA's Space Shuttle Program and the 78th landing at Kennedy. Main gear touchdown was at 5:57:00 a.m. EDT, followed by nose gear touchdown at 5:57:20 a.m., and wheelstop at 5:57:54 a.m. On board are STS-135 Commander Chris Ferguson, Pilot Doug Hurley, and Mission Specialists Sandy Magnus and

RM2WBMDDK–CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Xenon lights illuminate space shuttle Discovery as it makes its nighttime trek, known as 'rollout,' from the Vehicle Assembly Building to Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. It will take the shuttle, attached to its external fuel tank, twin solid rocket boosters and mobile launcher platform, about seven hours to complete the move. This is the second time Discovery has rolled out to the pad for the STS-133 mission, and comes after a thorough check and modifications to the shuttle's external tank. Targeted to liftoff Feb. 24, Discovery will take the
