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 stations life support and environmental control systems.

This print captures the awe-inspiring moment of Space Shuttle Endeavour's night landing at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, USA on February 21,2010. After a remarkable 14-day mission to the International Space Station, covering an incredible distance of 5.7 million miles during STS-130, Endeavour gracefully touches down on Runway 15 at the Shuttle Landing Facility. The image showcases the historic significance of this event as it marks both the 23rd night landing in shuttle history and the 17th one to occur at Kennedy. Onboard this monumental journey were esteemed NASA astronauts George Zamka (commander), Terry Virts (pilot), Robert Behnken, Nicholas Patrick, Kathryn Hire, and Stephen Robinson (all mission specialists). During their time in space, these courageous individuals successfully installed the Tranquility node - a vital module that not only provides additional room for crew members but also houses crucial life support and environmental control systems for the International Space Station. Endeavour's participation in STS-130 marked its impressive 24th flight and contributed to ISS assembly and maintenance as part of NASA's ongoing commitment to space exploration. This photograph is a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of knowledge beyond Earth's boundaries. Captured by NASA itself, this stunning image serves as a reminder of humanity's indomitable spirit when faced with challenges that lie beyond our atmosphere.
