OMG NOT-SO LIVE NEWS, KIND OF OOC
Night Flight: 26 Mar 2008
"With xenon lights flooding Runway 15, a drag chute slows space shuttle Endeavour as it returns to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, ending the STS-123 mission, a 16-day flight to the International Space Station. The main landing gear touched down at 8:39:08 p.m. EDT. The nose landing gear touched down at 8:39:17 p.m. and wheel stop was at 8:40:41 p.m.
The mission completed nearly 6.6 million miles. The landing was the second opportunity after the first was waved off due to unstable weather in the Kennedy Space Center area. 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." - From NASA.gov
