On November 27, 2009 the "Atlantis” American space shuttle (STS-129) landed at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 14:44 UTC (9:44 a.m. EST).
The crew, led by U.S. astronaut Charles Hobaugh, spent a week at the station, delivering equipment including gyroscopes, thermal control components, and an oxygen tank, and carried out three spacewalks to install devices and conduct repairs.
For the return journey, the crew was joined by ISS flight engineer Nicole Stott, who had been on board the orbital station for three months.
NASA's next flight to the station will be in February, when Endeavour delivers a module with a glass cupola to view Earth. Attachments: |
