STS111-S-028 (19 June 2002) --- The drag chute on the Space Shuttle Endeavour deploys to slow down the spacecraft during landing on runway 22 at Dryden Flight Research Center. After traveling 5.8 million miles in space during 217 orbits, the shuttle ended NASA's STS-111 mission with complete wheel stop on the concrete runway at 10:58:45 a.m. (PDT), June 19, 2002. Three days of unfavorable weather conditions at KSC prompted the decision to land at Edwards, which enjoyed pristine, dry conditions. Main gear touchdown occurred at 10:57:41 a.m. (PDT) and nose gear touchdown at 10:57:53 a.m. (PDT). sts111-s-028
