    Shuttle Atlantis to retire in 2008

    NASA to Sideline Atlantis Orbiter by 2008

    CAPE CANAVERAL - NASA aims to sideline shuttle Atlantis in 2008, but a senior agency official said Friday that no job cuts are expected at Kennedy Space Center as a result.


    Due for an upgrade at that time, but it wouldn't be finished before the shuttle program ends in 2010.
