Endeavour lands @ 0134 CDT, completing STS-134
Space Shuttle Endeavour landed at Kennedy Space Center early this morning, completing STS-134, a 16-day mission to the International Space Station. This was her 25th and final mission, bringing her totals to 299 days in space, logging 4,671 orbits for a distance of 122,883,151 miles. Endeavour entered service in 1993, making her the youngest shuttle in the fleet.
Her sister ship, Atlantis, was moved Pad 39A last night in preparation for STS-135, the final mission for the Space Shuttle. This mission is currently scheduled to lift off on 8 July 2011, when Atlantis will carry the Raffaello multipurpose logistics module to deliver supplies and spare parts to the ISS.
Congratulations, Endeavour, for 18 years of faithful service and a well-earned rest!
