Cape Canaveral,
Florida,
USA
completing a 16-day mission that included a visit to the
International Space Station (ISS).
All told, space shuttle
Endeavour flew 25 flights since being deployed by NASA
in 1992, spending a total of 299 days in space.
Endeavour's next mission will be a stationary one in the
