STS-122 is a space shuttle mission planned for December 2007, and is now expected to use the Space Shuttle Atlantis. This flight will mark the 24th shuttle mission to the International Space Station. The primary objectives of STS-122 are to deliver the European built Columbus module to the station, and to return Expedition 15 Flight Engineer Daniel Tani to earth. With the new orbiter change, this mission will mark the final visit by Atlantis to the ISS. After it lands, the orbiter will be prepared for its final mission, STS-125, the final servicing mission for the Hubble Space Telescope.
