home, after a 15-day mission to the international space station.
The construction and repair mission was among the most
challenging in shuttle history. During the visit, the seven shuttle
astronauts and three residents of the space station teamed up to
save a mangled solar wing, in one of the most difficult and
dangerous repairs ever attempted in orbit. The future of the space
station was riding on it.
As the shuttle rolled to a stop today in Florida, Mission
Control radioed to Commander Pamela Melroy, "Congratulations on a
tremendous mission and a great landing." She replied that it's
"nice to be back in Florida."
Before touching down, the shuttle crossed the continent, in the
first coast-to-coast re-entry since the Columbia disaster nearly
five years ago.
There had been double inspections of the shuttle's wings in
orbit to confirm that the thermal shielding would hold up to the
heat of re-entry.
