Space Shuttle Atlantis flew ISS assembly mission STS-129, delivering two ExPRESS Logistics Carriers loaded with spare parts (gyroscopes, pump modules, a nitrogen tank assembly) to sustain the station long-term. The six-person crew completed three spacewalks over the 11-day flight, the last shuttle mission of the 2000s.
