Last Shuttle
Premieres Sunday 7th August, 9.00pm
On 8th July 8 2011 history was made as the shuttle Atlantis lifted off on the final flight of NASA's Space Shuttle programme. Thirty years after the first shuttle launch, the eyes of the world were once again on Kennedy Space Centre. Upon its return to Earth, Atlantis will join the fleet's other three vessels in retirement immediately following touchdown. In celebration of this epic moment, Discovery Channel premieres Last Shuttle, an all-access special, one year in the making, featuring footage of the launch, filmed from Kennedy Space Centre.
The special features interviews with key players in the NASA Space Shuttle programme, including the four crew members of the last Atlantis flight: Mission Specialists Sandy Magnus and Rex Walheim, as well as Commander Chris Ferguson and Pilot Doug Hurley. In addition, Last Shuttle includes interviews with Captain Bob Crippen, the celebrated pilot of the first Atlantis mission; Jerry Sheehan, NASA's director of engineering; and Joe Chaput and John Fishbeck with NASA's marine operations.
