STS-100, Space Shuttle Endeavour Landing, 2001
A lone desert Joshua tree greeted the arrival of Space Shuttle Endeavour at Edwards Air Force Base, California, May 1, 2001. A large drag chute helped slow Endeavour on the runway. After mounting the shuttle on a converted 747 airliner at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center, Endeavour was carried back to the Kennedy Space Center for its next mission. Weather in Florida necessitated landing in California.
