    • Description: KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. – Following the landing of mission STS-105, Pilot Frederick "Rick" Sturckow (left) and Commander Scott "Doc" Horowitz give a jubilant thumbs up under orbiter Discovery sitting squarely on the center line of KSC's Shuttle Landing Facility runway 15. Main gear touchdown was at 2:22:58 p.m. EDT; wheel stop, at 2:24:06 p.m. EDT. The 11-day, 21-hour, 12-minute STS-105 mission accomplished the goals set for the 11th flight to the International Space Station: swapout of the resident Station crew; delivery of equipment, supplies and scientific experiments; and installation of the Early Ammonia Servicer and heater cables for the S0 truss on the Station. Discovery traveled 4.3 million miles on its 30th flight into space, the 106th mission of the Space Shuttle program. The landing was the first of five in 2001 to occur in daylight at KSC.
