NasaShuttleCrew - NASA SHUTTLE CREW

Talk about flying high!

Greeted at Edwards Air Force Base by NASA's Base Commander Hill, Video Steve, Karen, Ara & Jim were given the ultimate space shuttle landing experience!

Before the shuttle landed:

Cmdr. Hill was the most gracious of hosts! Breakfast at the base, a personal tour of the NASA space museum and a very private tour (no pictures please) of the large hangers where the latest in helicopter technology was being "maintained".

The highlight was having the Commander narrate the landing of the Space Shuttle from his private viewing platform! That's where we took this picture. All in all, a very cool performance in the desert!

STS-29 was a space shuttle mission by NASA using the Space Shuttle Atlantis.

It was the 29th shuttle mission, and the 4th flight for Atlantis.

It carried the Galileo probe bound for Jupiter.

Because of high winds predicted at the nominal landing time, the landing was moved two orbits earlier to 12:33 EDT. Atlantis landed at Runway 23, Edwards AFB, CA, after a mission duration of 4 days, 23 hours and 40 minutes.
