NASA's space shuttle Endeavour recently returned to the Orbiter Processing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, after its successful mission to the International Space Station. The shuttle, being a reusable spacecraft, has a cycle of preparation, execution and recovery.
Endeavour has been through this cycle 22 times now, since 1992. Here is a look at one full cycle for one space shuttle, starting with the landing of Endeavour from its previous mission on March 26th, and ending with its return to Florida 9 months later.
