STS 106 Atlantis landing at Kennedy Space Center, Florida, USA, 2000. Creator: NASA
STS 106 Atlantis landing at Kennedy Space Center, Florida, USA, 2000. Upon touchdown on Runway 15 of the Shuttle Landing Facility, Atlantiss drag chute opens to help slow the vehicle. At the controls are Commander Terrence W. Wilcutt and Pilot Scott D. Altman. Also on board are Mission Specialists Edward T. Lu, Yuri I. Malenchenko, Boris V. Morukov, Richard A. Mastracchio and Daniel C. Burbank. Malenchenko and Morukov are with the Russian Aviation and Space Agency. Atlantis traveled 4.9 million miles on the 11-day mission. The crew has returned from the International Space Station where they transferred nearly 5, 000 pounds of equipment and supplies for use by the first resident crew expected to arrive in November. This was the 99th flight in the Shuttle program and the 22nd for Atlantis. STS-106 also marked the 15th nighttime landing in Shuttle history and the 23rd consecutive landing at KSC

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring moment of STS 106 Atlantis landing at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, USA, in the year 2000. As the space shuttle gracefully touches down on Runway 15 of the Shuttle Landing Facility, its drag chute unfurls to aid in deceleration. Commanded by Terrence W. Wilcutt and piloted by Scott D. Altman, Atlantis carries a crew consisting of Mission Specialists Edward T. Lu, Yuri I. Malenchenko, Boris V. Morukov, Richard A. Mastracchio, and Daniel C. Burbank. Among these skilled astronauts are Malenchenko and Morukov from the Russian Aviation and Space Agency, highlighting international collaboration in space exploration efforts. This mission saw Atlantis travel an astounding distance of 4.9 million miles over an intense 11-day period. Returning from their expedition to the International Space Station (ISS), this dedicated crew successfully transferred nearly 5,000 pounds of vital equipment and supplies for future use by the first resident crew expected to arrive later that year. Notably marking both the 99th flight in NASA's iconic Shuttle program as well as Atlantis' impressive 22nd mission overall; STS-106 also holds significance for being one of only fifteen nighttime landings throughout Shuttle history and continuing Kennedy Space Center's streak with its twenty-third consecutive landing. This extraordinary image encapsulates not only America's rich heritage in space exploration but also showcases humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge beyond our planet's boundaries.
