WASHINGTON — NASA doesn’t know yet where it will get the money, but on Thursday the space agency officially added another space-shuttle launch to its schedule — the final one for the fleet.
The space agency set a target launch date of June 28 for shuttle Atlantis and started preparations for the 135th and last shuttle flight. The four- member crew will take up supplies to the international space station, make one spacewalk and return a faulty pump that has bedeviled engineers.
Now three missions remain before NASA retires its shuttle fleet this year. Shuttle Discovery’s last mission is slated for Feb. 24, Endeavour’s in April.
