CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., Aug. 21 (UPI) — Space shuttle Endeavor landed safety Tuesday at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, completing a 13-day mission to the International Space Station.

The spacecraft landed without incident about 12:32 p.m. EDT Tuesday on a 15,000-foot long, 300-foot-wide space center runway that’s about twice the size of a regular runway, officials said.

A National Aeronautics and Space Administration physician conducted a brief physical examination of the seven astronauts shortly after the landing and before the crew was transported five miles back to the space center’s astronaut headquarters.

Endeavour returned two weeks after it was launched from the Florida spaceport. While at the station, the astronauts conducted four spacewalks to continue in-orbit construction and repair work at the station.Read On
