Orbiter Discovery is riding on its main landing gear as it lowers its nose wheel after touching down on Runway 33 at the Shuttle Landing Facility. Main gear touchdown was at 12:04 p.m. EST, landing on orbit 135.

Discovery returns to Earth with its crew of seven after successfully completing mission STS-95, lasting nearly nine days and 3.6 million miles. The crew includes mission commander Curtis L. Brown, Jr.; pilot Steven W. Lindsey, mission specialists Scott E. Parazynski, Stephen K. Robinson, with the European Space Agency (ESA); payload specialist Chiaki Mukai, with the National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA); and payload specialist John H. Glenn, Jr., a senator from Ohio and one of the original seven Project Mercury astronauts.

The mission included research payloads such as the Spartan-201 solar-observing deployable spacecraft, the Hubble Space Telescope Orbital Systems Test Platform, the International Extreme Ultraviolet Hitchhiker, as well as a SPACEHAB single module with experiments on space flight and the aging process.

STS-95 byla mise raketoplánu Discovery z října a listopadu 1998. Šlo o 92. let raketoplánu celkem a 25. let pro stroj Discovery. Zároveň šlo o druhou vesmírnou misi, které se účastnil John Glenn a ten se zároveň ve věku 77 let stal nejstarším člověkem ve vesmíru. John Herschell Glenn byl veteránem z programu Mercury. Jako první Američan obletěl Zemi na palubě kosmické lodě Mercury 6. Do vesmíru se vrátil po 36 letech a jeho přítomnost na palubě způsobila velkou publicitu mise, která se projevila velkým počtem akreditovaných novinářů a velkým počtem návštěvníků Kennedyho vesmírného střediska. Pedro Duque se při tomto letu stal prvním Španělem ve vesmíru. .. pokračovat ve čtení
