STS-115 Lands!

by anned

NASA’s shuttle Atlantis landed safely this morning at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The six-member crew, made up of five Americans and one Canadian, successfully completed three spacewalks during their twelve-day journey. This mission added a second set of solar arrays to the International Space Station, which will double the station’s ability to generate power from sunlight and added 17.5 tons to its mass. Space Shuttle Discovery is scheduled to launch in December of this year and will continue work on the ISS.
