This flight will be remembered mainly for the three fire alarms that occurred at the station during the astronauts' stay there.
About 350 kilometers above the Pacific Ocean, northeast of New Guinea, the space shuttle Atlantis separated from the International Space Station after spending six days and 17 hours alongside it since arriving on November 18. Pilot Barry Wilmore performed the coffee flight around the station and thus it was possible for Atlantis crew members to photograph the now complete space station at 86% of its planned size.
New Atlantis crew member Nicole Stott spent 87 days on the space station.
The ignition of the engine for landing is expected on Friday at 08:37 EST and the landing is expected at 09:44 local time (16:44 Israel time) at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Yesterday, shortly before leaving the station, there was a change of commanders at the space station when the Belgian Frank de Wien and the first European in general to serve as crew chief of the space station was replaced by the American Jeff Williams.
A few hours earlier, fire and smoke alarms were activated in the Japanese Kibo laboratory on the space station. A quick investigation showed that it was a false alarm - the third that occurred during mission STS-129. The previous two originate from the new Russian mini lab Foysk.

there is!!!! There are aliens right here on Earth.
A news item in Mako says that space scientists in Bulgaria communicated with aliens and even received answers from them. I wonder if they addressed their questions to the aliens in Bulgarian?
How did Achish the King of Gath say "the lack of selfish fools"?...
Good luck 🙂
