Space Shuttle Night LandingFebruary 21, 2010—Capping a mission that began with the final space shuttle night launch, the NASA shuttle Endeavour makes a rare night landing at Florida's Kennedy Space Station at 10:20 p.m. ET.

Endeavour's 13-day mission included installing the new Tranquility node, which houses the seven-window cupola (see pictures), onto the International Space Station. With STS-130 complete, only four shuttle missions remain until NASA retires the fleet at the end of 2010.
