STS-129 was the first flight of an ExPRESS Logistics Carrier and focused on staging spare components outside the space station. The mission included three spacewalks.
32 - 14 May 2010 - STS-132 - 39A - KSC - 11 days, 18 hours, 29 minutes, 09 seconds - 4,879,978 miles (7,853,563 km) - International Space Station construction (Mini-Research Module 1 and the cargo pallet, Integrated Cargo Carrier-Vertical Light Deployable (ICC-VLD)).

33 - 8 July 2011 - STS-135 - 39A - KSC - 12 days, 18 hours, 28 minutes, 50 seconds - 5,284,862 miles (8,505,161 km) - International Space Station resupply using the Raffaello Multi-Purpose Logistics Module and the Lightweight Multi-Purpose Carrier (LMC). The failed ammonia pump module that was replaced in August 2010 returned inside Atlantis' payload bay. This was the final mission of Space Shuttle Atlantis and the last mission for the Space Shuttle Program. STS-135 flew with a crew of 4 astronauts; the reduced crew size allowed for rescue by regularly scheduled Soyuz missions if necessary.
