Aircraft Taken at More: NASA More: Rockwell Space Shuttle More: Titusville - NASA Shuttle Landing Facility (TTS) More: USA - Florida, December 22, 2006 Remark Photographer OV-103 (cn OV-103) As the weather seemed to be quite unstable at Kennedy Space Center, I almost thought that the mission control team would send Discovery to California. But, surprisingly enough, they decided to land her at KSC, and here she comes! Welcome back Discovery!! CDR Mark Polansky and PLT William Oefelein smoothly bring the vehicle back to the 15000ft runway 15 for landing at sunset (5:32pm EST). Congratulation for the entire NASA team for the successful STS-116 mission (204 orbits, traveling 5.3 million miles). More: Jean - AirTeamImages Contact Jean - AirTeamImages Link to me!
