STS-72 Landing
The Space Shuttle orbiter Endeavour and its crew of six glide in to Runway 15 at KSCs Shuttle Landing Facility after spending nine days in space on the STS-72 mission, the first Shuttle flight of 1996. It is the eighth night landing of the Shuttle since the program began in 1981, but only the third night landing at KSC. Highlights of the mission were the retrieval of the Japanese Space Flyer Unit (SFU), the deployment and retrieval of NASAs Office of Aeronauts and Space Techology-Flyer (OAST-Flyer), and two Extravehicular Activities (EVA s) or spacewalks

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, the Space Shuttle orbiter Endeavour gracefully descends onto Runway 15 at KSC's Shuttle Landing Facility, marking the triumphant end of its nine-day journey in space on the STS-72 mission. This historic flight, which took place in 1996, was not only the first Shuttle mission of that year but also a remarkable achievement for NASA's program. As darkness blankets Kennedy Space Center, this image captures the rare spectacle of an evening landing. Only three night landings have ever occurred at KSC since the inception of the Shuttle program in 1981, making this moment all the more extraordinary. The vibrant streaks of light emanating from Endeavour's underbelly illuminate its path and symbolize humanity's unwavering quest to explore beyond our earthly boundaries. The STS-72 mission boasted several significant milestones. One highlight was successfully retrieving Japan's Space Flyer Unit (SFU), showcasing international collaboration and advancing scientific research capabilities. Additionally, NASAs Office of Aeronautics and Space Technology-Flyer (OAST-Flyer) deployment and retrieval demonstrated cutting-edge technological advancements achieved during this groundbreaking voyage. Furthermore, two daring Extravehicular Activities (EVAs), or spacewalks as they are commonly known, were conducted by Endeavour's crew during their time in orbit. These awe-inspiring moments captured mankind venturing into outer space with courage and determination. This stunning photograph encapsulates both a breathtaking visual display and
