Following the successful launch of STS-135 Atlantis on the last ever shuttle mission yesterday, you may want to keep tabs on its location while it orbits!

The NASA ISS Tracker also shows the current orbital location of Atlantis, first as it maneuvers to rendezvous with the International Space Station, and then when it undocks to head back to Earth (after completion of its mission objectives).

There is also a Google Earth add-on available from the NASA site (click here) which shows the shuttle location in 3D, in real-time (updated using information direct from mission control).
