SHUTTEE ENDEAVOUR - Station, Moon and Earth

Homecoming

In the 16th night landing at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, space shuttle Endeavour touches down on Runway 15 to end the STS-123 mission's nearly 16-day flight to the International Space Station.

The landing was the second opportunity after the first was waved off due to cloud cover over the Shuttle Landing Facility. The STS-123 mission delivered the first segment of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's Kibo laboratory and the Canadian Space Agency's two-armed robotic system, known as Dextre.
