On the Bottom Half

Landed!

Safe! A flawless approach and landing. Mains touch down (TD) at 06:21:30 EDT; Nose gear TD 06:21:36 EDT; All stop 06:22:16 EDT. Total Mission Elapse Time (MET) 11d 19h 7m 24s.

Altogether a smashing success! Thanks for listening... Stay tuned for STS-116, launching No Earlier Than (NET) 14 Dec 06. This mission will be to deliver and install the P5 Truss section, which will function as the 'joiner piece', so to speak, between the P6 and P3/P4 integrated truss segments. The following missions will deliver the equivalent pieces of the starboard-side truss, then relocate the P6 segment to join on to P5.
