After logging 5.8 million miles during 217 orbits, Endeavour's main landing gear touched down at about 1:58 p.m. The crew members exited the Orbiter to the Crew Transfer Vehicle about one hour after landing and the four STS-111 crew members performed the traditional walk-around inspection. The astronauts are scheduled to return to Houston to be reunited with their families at the crew return ceremony on Friday. Expedition Four crew members Dan Bursch and Carl Walz surpassed the previous U.S. spaceflight duration record held by Shannon Lucid since 1996, with a record-setting 196 days in space. Also, Walz holds the record for the most cumulative days in space with 231 days. Later this afternoon, Endeavour will be towed to the mate-demate device at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center in preparation to be mated to the modified 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA) for its ferry flight to Kennedy Space Center scheduled to leave on Monday, June 24. The SCA will land at the Shuttle Landing Facility at KSC and Endeavour will be towed to the Orbiter Processing Facility to begin deservicing and processing for its next mission, the STS-113 mission to the ISS in October.
