Space Shuttle Atlantis Final Flight

I am a retired Aircraft Engineer. When I saw the replacement spacecraft for Space Shuttle called “Crew Dragon” was launched recently on 30th May 2020, I have decided to make an animation about the final flight of Atlantis.
A reusable spacecraft called “Crew Dragon” was developed and manufactured by American aerospace manufacturer SpaceX was launched carrying two astronauts to the International Space Station. It is after a gap of 9 years, a spacecraft was launched from American soil since the grounding of Space Shuttle in 2011. It can ferry up to seven astronauts, and the spacecraft was launched atop of a Falcon 9 rocket and returns to Earth via an ocean splashdown. Unlike its predecessors, the spacecraft can dock itself to the ISS instead of being berthed.
Space Shuttle was in operation for 30 years and played an important role in the orbital assembly of International Space Station. Space Shuttle operated final as STS-135 by Atlantis on 8th July 2011. Since then America faced problem in carrying astronauts to the Space Station. Russian Soyuz spacecraft was used for this purpose. Unmanned cargo spacecrafts of partner countries were also used to carry supplies to the Station.
