Endeavor\u2019s <\/em>two-week mission will include the delivery of the 15,000-pound Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer-2 (AMS) and a spare parts container to the International Space Station<\/a>. While the spare parts container\u2019s ammonia tank, oxygen tank, circuit breakers, and antennas will go toward maintenance of the station, the AMS will gather information on charged particles that may go toward answering questions about dark matter and antimatter.<\/p>\n

The final shuttle mission, STS-135, will be primarily to stock up the ISS on supplies that would be needed once the shuttle program is retired. This flight, with Space Shuttle Atlantis <\/em>as the orbiter, is scheduled for is scheduled for July 12, 2011.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
