Shuttle lands in Florida | Bad Astronomy
Posted By admin on November 28, 2009
At 9:44 a.m. local time, Atlantis touched down safely in Florida after an 11 day flight in Earth orbit, ending mission STS-129. She’ll be cleaned up for one final mission — STS-132, slated for May 2010 — before permanent retirement. There are five scheduled Shuttle flights remaining, all to the International Space Station.
In celebration of a safe voyage, I leave you with this: sunset from the ISS during STS-129.
