Atlantis leaves space station for last time

In an image made from NASA TV, the Atlantis is docked to the Internatonal Space Station on Monday. Atlantis undocked from the ISS early Tuesday as the final space shuttle mission returns to Florida.

Atlantis will join Discovery and Endeavour in retirement after this 13-day journey, the 135th for the shuttle programme. All three will become museum displays.
