Endeavour touchdown - STS-123, Kennedy Space Center, USA, March 26, 2008. Space Shuttle Endeavour about to touch down on Runway 15 at the Shuttle Landing Facility at the end of a 16-day flight to the International Space Station. On board are NASA astronauts Dominic Gorie, commander; Gregory H. Johnson, pilot; Robert L. Behnken, Mike Foreman, Rick Linnehan and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Takao Doi, all mission specialists. The mission completed nearly 6.6 million miles. The landing was on the second opportunity after the first was waved off due to unstable weather. 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.
