Title
STS-72 Landing
Full Description
The Space Shuttle orbiter Endeavour and its crew of six glide in to Runway 15 at
KSC's Shuttle Landing Facility after spending nine days in space on the STS-72
mission, the first Shuttle flight of 1996. It is the eighth night landing
of
the Shuttle since the program began in 1981, but only the third night landing at
KSC.
Highlights of the mission were the retrieval of the Japanese Space Flyer Unit
(SFU), the deployment and retrieval of NASA's Office of Aeronauts and Space
Techology-Flyer (OAST-Flyer), and two Extravehicular Activities (EVA's) or
spacewalks.
