CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- STS-135 Commander Chris Ferguson, left, and Pilot Doug Hurley head out on the Shuttle Landing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida to practice touch-and-go landings aboard two Shuttle Training Aircraft. The flight crew of four arrived aboard T-38 training jets to watch two historic milestones of NASA's Space Shuttle Program -- the final landing of shuttle Endeavour, which will bookend its STS-134 mission to the International Space Station, and the final rollout of their vehicle, space shuttle Atlantis, to Launch Pad 39A. STS-135 will be the 33rd flight of Atlantis, the 37th shuttle mission to the space station, and the 135th and final mission of the shuttle program.
