With landing gear down, space shuttle Endeavour approaches the Shuttle
Landing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida after 14
days in space, completing the 5.7-million-mile STS-130 mission.
Endeavour landed at 10:20 p.m. EST on Sunday, Feb. 21, after delivering
the new Tranquility node and its seven-window cupola to the
International Space Station. Returning to Earth aboard Endeavour are
Commander George Zamka; Pilot Terry Virts; and Mission Specialists
Robert Behnken, Nicholas Patrick, Kathryn Hire and Stephen Robinson.
