CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, workers look on as space shuttle Atlantis enters Orbiter Processing Facility-1, where it will be processed for the unlikely event it is needed as a rescue spacecraft for the final shuttle flight, Endeavour's STS-143 mission. Atlantis touched down on the Shuttle Landing Facility's Runway 33 after 12 days in space, completing the mile STS-132 mission to the International Space Station. The six-member STS-132 crew carried the Russian-built Mini Research Module-1 to the space station. STS-132 is the 34th shuttle mission
