With commander Chris Ferguson and pilot Eric Boe at the controls, space shuttle Endeavour descended to a smooth landing at Edwards Air Force Base, California.
The STS-126 crew members concluded their successful mission to the International Space Station when the shuttle touched down at 4:25 p.m. EST.
Endeavour arrived at the station November 16, delivering equipment that will help allow the station to double its crew size to six.
In addition, the
STS-126 astronauts delivered Expedition 18 Flight Engineer Sandra Magnus, KE5FYE, who replaced Greg Chamitoff, KD5PKZ, now a mission specialist who returned to Earth aboard Endeavour.
STS-126 is the 124th shuttle mission and 27th shuttle flight to visit the space station.
