The flight of Raffaello marked the only time that Atlantis carried an MPLM. The mission's primary cargo was the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module (MPLM) Raffaello and a Lightweight Multi-Purpose Carrier (LMC), which were delivered to the International Space Station (ISS). The four-person crew was the smallest of any shuttle mission since STS-6 in April 1983. STS-135 launched on July 8, 2011, and landed on July 21, 2011, following a one-day mission extension. It used the orbiter Atlantis and hardware originally processed for the STS-335 contingency mission, which was not flown.
STS-135 ( ISS assembly flight ULF7) was the 135th and final mission of the American Space Shuttle program.
