A beautiful Florida morning greeted the crew of Atlantis as the shuttle glided to a stop on runway 33 at Kennedy Space Center.

A perfect landing capped a successful mission for the STS-132 crew who brought with them the Integrated Cargo Carrier (ICC) and Russian Mini Research Module (MRM1). This is the last planned flight of Atlantis before NASA retires the shuttle fleet at the end of this year. This is the 32nd flight of Atlantis which has logged over 120 million miles in space in its 25 year history.

NASA TV will rerun launch and landing video from many of their different camera angles, including video from Mission Control during landing as well as flight day mission highlights throughout the day. You can watch NASA by clicking here: NASA TV
