Endeavour touchdown - STS-123, Kennedy Space Center, USA, March 26, 2008. Space Shuttle Endeavour about to touch down on Runway 15 at the Shuttle Landing Facility at the end of a 16-day flight to the International Space Station. On board are NASA astronauts Dominic Gorie, commander; Gregory H. Johnson, pilot; Robert L. Behnken, Mike Foreman, Rick Linnehan and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Takao Doi, all mission specialists. The mission completed nearly 6.6 million miles. The landing was on the second opportunity after the first was waved off due to unstable weather. The STS-123 mission delivered the first segment of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agencys Kibo laboratory and the Canadian Space Agencys two-armed robotic system, known as Dextre

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the Endeavour space shuttle touchdown on March 26,2008, at Kennedy Space Center in the USA. After a remarkable 16-day mission to the International Space Station, this image showcases the shuttle gracefully descending onto Runway 15 at the Shuttle Landing Facility. On board were esteemed NASA astronauts Dominic Gorie (commander), Gregory H. Johnson (pilot), Robert L. Behnken, Mike Foreman, Rick Linnehan, and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Takao Doi. Covering an astonishing distance of nearly 6.6 million miles throughout its journey, this landing was particularly significant as it marked the second opportunity due to unstable weather conditions that had previously forced a wave-off. The STS-123 mission itself played a crucial role in advancing space exploration by delivering vital components such as Japan's Kibo laboratory segment and Canada's two-armed robotic system named Dextre. This photograph not only symbolizes America's rich heritage in space exploration but also represents human curiosity and determination to push boundaries beyond Earth's atmosphere. With its vibrant colors capturing both nightfall and technological marvels of our time, this image serves as a testament to mankind's relentless pursuit of knowledge and discovery.
