The last space shuttle mission was STS-135 (Space Transportation System 135) which landed at the Shuttle Landing Facility (SLF) (runway) of the John Fitzgerald Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida in the pre-dawn darkness hours of Thursday, July 21, 2011 (coincidentally, the day after the 42nd anniversary of the first Moon landing). Although this was the last space shuttle mission, the Space Shuttle Program (SSP), albeit drastically scaled back, continued in limited operation to allow for the decommissioning of the orbiters and their eventual transportation to museums for public display.
