With commander Chris Ferguson and pilot Eric Boe at the controls, space shuttle Endeavour descended to a smooth landing at Edwards Air Force Base, California. The STS-126 crew members concluded their successful mission to the International Space Station when the shuttle touched down at 4:25 p.m. EST on 30th November 2008.
Endeavour arrived at the station 16th November, delivering equipment that will help allow the station to double its crew size to six. In addition, the STS-126 astronauts delivered Expedition 18 Flight Engineer Sandra Magnus, who replaced Greg Chamitoff, now a mission specialist who returned to Earth aboard Endeavour.
Four of the seven astronauts walked around and beneath Endeavour, taking a last look at the vehicle that served them well in orbit and brought them safely home earlier today. Commander Ferguson took a few minutes to speak to the media thanking the folks at Johnson, Kennedy and the landing team at Edwards for their help. Monday the crew will be flown back to Johnson Space Center in Houston for a family reunion and a homecoming celebration at Ellington Field.

The STS-126 mission lifted off at 7:55 p.m. EST, 14th November 2008 on a mission to prep the International Space Station for expanded crews.
NASA astronaut Chris Ferguson commands the seven-member crew, which includes Pilot Eric Boe, Mission Specialists Donald Pettit, Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper, Steve Bowen, Shane Kimbrough and Sandra Magnus..
In Endeavour's payload bay, the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module Leonardo is packed full of about 14,500 pounds of equipment and supplies, making it one of the heaviest modules in shuttle history.
Also included in the payload, are additional sleeping quarters, a second toilet, an exercise device and other household-type equipment.
The prime objective of the 15-day mission is to prepare the International Space Station to accommodate six members for long-duration stays.
Four planned spacewalks will focus on servicing the station's two Solar Alpha Rotary Joints, or SARJ, which are needed to track the sun for electric power.
Endeavour and its crew are set to land at NASA's Kennedy Space Center after more than two weeks in space.
