STS-88

After a flawless mission, Endeavour prepares to touch down on Runway 15 at the Shuttle Landing Facility at Kennedy Space Center in Florida to complete an 11-day, 19-hour and 18-minute-long STS-88 mission. On the 4.6-million-mile mission, Endeavour carried the U.S.-built Unity connecting module to begin construction of the International Space Station. The crew successfully mated Unity with the Russian-built Zarya control module during three spacewalks.
