The space shuttle Endeavor returned from a two-week mission in space during which it brought up the last American module as well as an observation deck to the International Space Station as part of the STS-130 mission.
Mission Commander George Zamke directed Endeavor to land at the Kennedy Space Center at 22:20 p.m. local time (05:20 a.m. Israel time). There are now a total of four shuttle missions remaining, during which the astronauts will mainly upload heavy equipment to the space station that will not be able to be uploaded by means of the post-shuttle era, as well as spare parts and other equipment, which will also be limited in their transportation due to the relatively small size of the supply spacecraft. The station is now 98% complete.
