Space Shuttle Endeavour lifted off on her last mission to the International Space Station. The STS-134 mission was launched at 12:56 GMT (14:56 CEST) on 16 May 2011.
Roberto’s mission is named DAMA in reference to the search for the mysterious dark matter that will be conducted by the 6.9-tonne fundamental physics payload, the AMS-02 Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, probably the most ambitious science payload ever launched to the Station.
