About this work
Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. — The Space Shuttle Atlantis starts to deploy its braking parachute as it approaches touchdown on the runway at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base in California. Returning from mission STS-117, Atlantis landed on orbit 219 after 13 days, 20 hours and 12 minutes in space. The landing was diverted to California due to marginal weather at the Kennedy Space Center. Main gear touchdown was at 3:49:38 p.m. EDT on runway 22.
