STS-132 (ISS assembly flight ULF4) was a NASA Space Shuttle mission, during which Space Shuttle Atlantis docked with the International Space Station on May 16, 2010. STS-132 was launched from the Kennedy Space Center on May 14, 2010. The primary payload was the Russian Rassvet Mini-Research Module, along with an Integrated Cargo Carrier-Vertical Light Deployable (ICC-VLD). Atlantis landed at the Kennedy Space Center on May 26, 2010. STS-132 was initially scheduled to be the final flight of Atlantis, provided that the STS-335/STS-135 Launch On Need rescue mission would not be needed. However, in February 2011, NASA declared that the final mission of Atlantis and of the Space Shuttle program, STS-135, would be flown regardless of the funding situation. Space shuttle Atlantis launched on its final planned mission to deliver an Integrated Cargo Carrier and the Russian-built Mini-Research Module-1 (MRM1) to the International Space Station. The 19.7-foot Russian module was installed on the Earth-facing port of the station's Zarya module. Known as Rassvet, Russian for "dawn," MRM1 provides cargo storage and an additional docking port to the station. STS-132 spacewalkers installed a spare antenna, replaced batteries on the P6 truss and retrieved a power data grapple fixture. First launched in October 1985, Atlantis flew five military missions, made seven flights to the Russian Mir space station and 11 to the International Space Station. It launched two planetary probes - Magellan to Venus and Galileo to Jupiter - deployed the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory and visited the Hubble Space Telescope. The International Space Station (ISS) is the largest modular space station in low Earth orbit. The project involves five space agencies: the United States' NASA, Russia's Roscosmos, Japan's JAXA, Europe's ESA, and Canada's CSA. The ownership and use of the space station is established by intergovernmental treaties and agreements. The station serves as a microgravity and space environment research laboratory in which scientific research is conducted in astrobiology, astronomy, meteorology, physics, and other fields. The ISS is suited for testing the spacecraft systems and equipment required for possible future long-duration missions to the Moon and Mars.…
