beskrivelse:

The Space Shuttle Atlantis heads for touchdown on the runway at the Kennedy Space Center landing facility to complete a nearly 11-day journey. Astronaut Michael J. Bloomfield, mission commander, eased Atlantis to a textbook landing on runway 3-3 at the Florida spaceport at 12:27 p.m. (EDT), April 19, 2002, under clear skies and light winds. The landing completed a 4.5-million-mile mission that saw successful delivery and installation of the centerpiece of the International Space Station's main truss and the inaugural run of the first space railcar, the Mobile Transporter.
