Space Shuttle Endeavour night landing, Florida. USA, February 21, 2010. Endeavour lands on Runway 15 at the Shuttle Landing Facility, Kennedy Space Center, after 14 days in space, completing the 5.7-million-mile STS-130 mission to the International Space Station. It was the 23rd night landing in shuttle history and the 17th at Kennedy. Aboard were NASA astronauts George Zamka, commander; Terry Virts, pilot; Robert Behnken, Nicholas Patrick, Kathryn Hire and Stephen Robinson, all mission specialists. During the mission, astronauts installed the Tranquility node, a module that provides additional room for crew members and many of the station's life support and environmental control systems. STS-130 was the 24th flight for Endeavour, the 32nd shuttle mission devoted to ISS assembly and maintenance, and the 130th shuttle mission to date.
