With its drag chute gear deployed, the Space Shuttle Atlantis eases to a stop on the runway at the KSC landing facility to complete the nearly 11-day STS-110 journey. Astronaut Michael J. Bloomfield, mission commander, eased Atlantis to a textbook landing on runway 3-3 at the Florida spaceport at 12:27 p.m. (EDT), April 19, 2002, under clear skies and light winds. The landing completed a 4.5-million-mile mission that saw successful delivery and installation of the centerpiece of the International Space Station?s main truss and the inaugural run of the first space railcar, the Mobile Transporter.
