Space Shuttle Atlantis Executive Display Model

The Space Shuttle Atlantis rocketed into space for the last time on July 8th, 2011.

When linked, the Space Shuttle Atlantis and the docking station Mir formed the largest spacecraft in orbit at the time. Showcase this Space Shuttle Atlantis Executive Display Model and celebrate her milestones, including the 100th U.S. manned space flight, the first U.S. Shuttle-Russian Space Station docking and joint-orbit operations and the first on-orbit change out of shuttle crew.
