Atlantis completed a flawless mission to the International Space Station with an on time
landing at KSC's Shuttle Landing Facility (SLF) at 2:20 a.m. on orbit 155. At the
conclusion of mission STS-101, Atlantis and crew had traveled 4,076,241 miles. The main landing gear touched down on SLF runway 15 at 2:20:17 a.m.
and the nose landing gear followed at 2:20:30 a.m. With the aid of its drag chute,
Atlantis came to a complete stop at 2:21:19 a.m. Following routine safing and offloading
efforts, managers expect Atlantis to arrive at Orbiter Processing Facility bay 3 by about
6 a.m. today. While in the Shuttle hangar, technicians will begin an expedited turnaround
of Atlantis for mission STS-106.
The flight crew will remain overnight at KSC and depart for
their homes in Houston, Texas, Tuesday morning. STS-101 marked the 14th nighttime landing
in Shuttle history and the 22nd consecutive landing at KSC.
