Title
STS-66 Atlantis Landing and Chute Deployment at Edwards
Full Description
The Space Shuttle Atlantis lands with its drag chute deployed on runway
22 at Edwards, California, to complete the STS-66 mission dedicated to
the third flight of the Atmospheric Laboratory for Applications and
Science-3 (ATLAS-3), part of NASA's Mission to Planet Earth program.
The astronauts also deployed and retrieved a free-flying satellite
designed to study the middle and lower thermospheres and perform a
series of experiments covering life sciences research and microgravity
processing. The landing was at 7:34 a.m. (PST) November 14, 1994, after
being waved off from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, due to adverse
weather.
