Atlantis Returns To Earth
Space Shuttle Atlantis Lands at NASA Kennedy Space Center
“With Commander Steve Frick and Pilot Alan Poindexter at the controls, space shuttle Atlantis descended to a smooth landing at Kennedy Space Center, Fla. The STS-122 crew began its mission Feb. 7 and arrived at the station Feb. 9. Crew members added the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Columbus laboratory to the station, increasing the orbital outpost’s scientific capabilities. They also delivered a new crew member to the ISS and replaced an expended Nitrogen Tank Assembly on the station’s P1 Truss.”
