Us Space Shuttle Atlantis

Five years after Atlantis completed the space shuttle program's final voyage, NASA is still at least a year away from launching its astronauts from US soil.

Boris Morukov, a Russian cosmonaut and doctor who led an extraordinary experiment in which volunteers simulated a flight to Mars while never leaving a Moscow car park, has died at 64, his scientific institute said Friday.

The last US space shuttle to soar makes its museum debut this weekend.

A space shuttle left the International Space Station for the very last time on Tuesday, heading home to end the 30-year run of a vessel that kept astronauts flying to and from orbit longer than any other US rocketship. Atlantis slipped away as the two spacecraft soared nearly 250 miles above the Pacific.

Astronauts aboard the International Space Station got a very long-distance call from US President Barack Obama, who joked that he thought he was dialing out for pizza.

All systems are go for the launch of US space shuttle Atlantis, for a construction and delivery mission to the International Space Station. The blast off is scheduled for 1 am (IST) on Tuesday.

Heavy cloud cover and crosswinds forced the US space agency to put off the space shuttle Atlantis' return.
