With Commander Kevin Kregel and Pilot Steven Lindsey at the controls, the orbiter Columbia glides moments before its touchdown on Runway 33 at KSC’s Shuttle Landing Facility. Main gear touchdown occurred at 7:20:04 a.m. EST on Dec. 5 to complete the 15-day, 16-hour and 34-minute-long STS-87 mission of 6.5 million miles. Also onboard the orbiter are Mission Specialists Winston Scott; Kalpana Chawla, Ph.D.; and Takao Doi, Ph.D., of the National Space Development Agency of Japan; along with Payload Specialist Leonid Kadenyuk of the National Space Agency of Ukraine. During the 88th Space Shuttle mission, the crew performed experiments on the United States Microgravity Payload-4 and pollinated plants as part of the Collaborative Ukrainian Experiment. This was the 12th landing for Columbia at KSC and the 41st KSC landing in the history of the Space Shuttle program KSC-pa06l87

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- Concluding their successful return to Earth on mission STS-118, the STS-118 crew pose for a photo alongside Endeavour after checking out the orbiter. From left are Mission Specialists Dave Williams, Rick Mastracchio, Tracy Caldwell and Alvin Drew, Commander Scott Kelly and Pilot Charlie Hobaugh. Not pictures is Mission Specialist Barbara R. Morgan. On the mission, the crew installed a new gyroscope, an external spare parts platform and another truss segment to the expanding station. Endeavour's main gear touched down at 12:32:16 p.m. EDT. Nose gear touchdown was at 12:32:29 p.m. and wheel stop was at 12:33:20 p.m. Endeavour landed on orbit 201. STS-118 was the 119th space shuttle flight, the 22nd flight to the station, the 20th flight for Endeavour and the second of four missions planned for 2007. This was the 65th landing of an orbiter at Kennedy. Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett KSC-07pd2344
