Atlantis' STS-129 mission includes three spacewalks and the
installation of two platforms to the station's truss, or backbone.
The platforms will store the spare parts needed to sustain station
operations after the shuttle fleet is retired. Atlantis will return
with station resident Nicole Stott, marking the final time the
shuttle will be used to rotate station crew members.
