Space shuttle Endeavour landed safely Sunday night at Kennedy Space Center after a two-week mission to the international space station.
“It’s great to be home and it was a great adventure,” Cmdr. George Zamka said upon landing.
Endeavour’s mission was to delivere a third connecting module, an Italian-built Tranquility node and a seven-windowed cupola to be used as a control room for robotics.
The International Space Station is already about 90% complete and is expected to be completed by next year.
Space Shuttle Endeavour is one of three currently operational orbiters in the Space Shuttle fleet of NASA, the space agency of the United States. (The other two are Discovery and Atlantis.) Endeavour is the fifth and final spaceworthy NASA space shuttle to be built, constructed as a replacement for Challenger.
