Space shuttle Atlantis and its crew landed at 9:07 a.m. EST Wednesday at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, Florida, after completing a 13-day journey of nearly 5,3 million miles in space. The STS-122 mission expanded the size and research capabilities of the International Space Station with the delivery of the European Space Agency’s Columbus laboratory. Steve Frick commanded the flight and was joined by Pilot Alan Poindexter, Mission Specialists Leland Melvin, Rex Walheim, Stanley Love and European Space Agency astronauts Hans Schlegel from Germany and Leopold Eyharts from France. Eyharts remained aboard the space station, replacing Expedition 16 Flight Engineer Dan Tani, who returned to Earth on Atlantis after nearly four months on the station. Eyharts will return on shuttle Endeavour’s STS-123 mission, currently targeted for launch on March 11, 2008.
