Space shuttle Endeavor

The last space shuttle Endeavor that had departed on May 16th has reappeared on the earth as it was time to come back from a long journey to our galaxy. The ship landed in a dark night of June first. With twenty five missions accomplished the space travel marked its end to its 122 million miles of an expedition. Ring of fire was evidently pictured on the departing day and now there is a new photo of the vessel landing with a parachute on its side in the darkness.

The arrival made on Wednesday was the last moment of Endeavor space craft program. It has retired from its twenty years of devotion on making history by travels and innovations done in space. At the same time of receiving congratulations, for the succession made in carrying out missions well, the arrival made people, personals in NASA, saddened. Their 16 days from space traveling to returning, which were actually 296days to astronauts, was a joint effort project of Russia and US.

The mission given to the space shuttle was to install an Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer on Space station. Since there was a report of well done in establishing the apparatus, physics turned into a wild excitement appointing promising future. AMS reportedly detects a variety of rays that go through our galaxy. There would be a long term of an observation on anti substances that access to the earth. “Oxygen was generated and Carbon dioxide was purified in space station and now we will leave this to other guys” said Kelly, one of the astronauts.

On the preparation of this space craft departure there was a minor problem that made workers’ nerves tensed. A day before its leave there was a day change happened in the mid of its preparation and has been postponed to May 8th. However, the work has met tremendous happy ending.

30 year of shuttle program hosted by NASA has come to the end. Their burdens were finally unloaded and now plan for the future of next generation. Next step would be on constructing space shuttle looking forward to land on orbits of Mars or the moon. Another course for solar system is expecting to be pushed further by NASA. This has been anticipated to make a greater achievement in human’s life,
