STS-66 Atlantis Landing and Chute Deployment at Edwards
The Space Shuttle Atlantis lands with its drag chute deployed on runway 22 at Edwards, California, to complete the STS-66 mission dedicated to the third flight of the Atmospheric Laboratory for Applications and Science-3 (ATLAS-3), part of NASAs Mission to Planet Earth program. The astronauts also deployed and retrieved a free-flying satellite designed to study the middle and lower thermospheres and perform a series of experiments covering life sciences research and microgravity processing. The landing was at 7:34 a.m. (PST) November 14, 1994, after being waved off from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, due to adverse weather

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring moment when the Space Shuttle Atlantis gracefully touches down on runway 22 at Edwards, California. The shuttle's drag chute billows behind it, a testament to the successful completion of the STS-66 mission. This particular mission was dedicated to advancing our understanding of Earth's atmosphere through the deployment of the Atmospheric Laboratory for Applications and Science-3 (ATLAS-3), an integral part of NASA's Mission to Planet Earth program. In addition to its atmospheric research objectives, this mission also showcased human ingenuity and scientific exploration. The astronauts aboard Atlantis skillfully deployed and retrieved a free-flying satellite designed specifically for studying the middle and lower thermospheres. This innovative spacecraft allowed them to conduct crucial experiments covering various fields such as life sciences research and microgravity processing. It is worth noting that this landing at Edwards came after adverse weather conditions forced a wave-off from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Despite these challenges, Atlantis safely made its descent at 7:34 a. m. (PST) on November 14,1994. This remarkable image serves as a reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge beyond our planet's boundaries. It symbolizes both technological achievements and scientific breakthroughs that continue to shape our understanding of Earth and space exploration today.
