The crew of Space Shuttle mission STS-114 gathered for a press brief following landing at Edwards Air Force Base, California, 5:11 am, August 9, 2005. Left to right: Mission Specialists Charles Camarda, Wendy Lawrence and Stephen Robinson, Commander Eileen Collins at microphone, Mission Specialists Andrew Thomas and Soichi Noguchi, and Pilot James Kelly. Space Shuttle Discovery landed safely at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base in California at 5:11:22 a.m. PDT this morning, following the very successful 14-day STS-114 return to flight mission. During their two weeks in space, Commander Eileen Collins and her six crewmates tested out new safety procedures and delivered supplies and equipment the International Space Station. Discovery spent two weeks in space, where the crew demonstrated new methods to inspect and repair the Shuttle in orbit. The crew also delivered supplies, outfitted and performed maintenance on the International Space Station. A number of these tasks were conducted during three spacewalks. In an unprecedented event, spacewalkers were called upon to remove protruding gap fillers from the heat shield on Discovery's underbelly. In other spacewalk activities, astronauts installed an external platform onto the Station's Quest Airlock and replaced one of the orbital outpost's Control Moment Gyroscopes. Inside the Station, the STS-114 crew conducted joint operations with the Expedition 11 crew. They unloaded fresh supplies from the Shuttle and the Raffaello Multi-Purpose Logistics Module. Before Discovery undocked, the crews filled Raffeallo with unneeded items and returned to Shuttle payload bay. Discovery launched on July 26 and spent almost 14 days on orbit.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - After arrival at NASA?s Kennedy Space Center, the STS-114 crew members pause on the runway while Commander Eileen Collins makes a brief statement to the media. Standing behind her, from left, are Pilot James Kelly and Mission Specialists Wendy Lawrence, Stephen Robinson, Charles Camarda, and Andrew Thomas. The crew is at KSC to take part in the Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test (TCDT) over the next three days. The TCDT is held at KSC prior to each Space Shuttle flight. It provides the crew of each mission an opportunity to participate in simulated countdown activities. The test ends with a mock launch countdown culminating in a simulated main engine cutoff. The crew also spends time undergoing emergency egress training exercises at the launch pad. STS-114 is the first Return to Flight mission to the International Space Station. The launch window extends July 13 through July 31.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- James Kelly (at right), pilot on Return to Flight mission STS-114, walks away from the Shuttle Training Aircraft (STA) at the Shuttle Landing Facility on NASA?s Kennedy Space Center. He and Mission Commander Eileen Collins are practicing landing the orbiter using the STA, which is a modified Grumman American Aviation-built Gulf Stream II executive jet that was modified to simulate an orbiter?s cockpit, motion and visual cues, and handling qualities. In flight, the STA duplicates the orbiter?s atmospheric descent trajectory from approximately 35,000 feet altitude to landing on a runway. Because the orbiter is unpowered during re-entry and landing, its high-speed glide must be perfectly executed the first time. Mission STS-114 is scheduled to launch aboard Space Shuttle Discovery with a crew of seven on July 13 at 3:51 p.m. from Launch Pad 39B.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- James Kelly, pilot on Return to Flight mission STS-114, walks away from the Shuttle Training Aircraft (STA) at the Shuttle Landing Facility on NASA?s Kennedy Space Center. He and Mission Commander Eileen Collins are practicing landing the orbiter using the STA, which is a modified Grumman American Aviation-built Gulf Stream II executive jet that was modified to simulate an orbiter?s cockpit, motion and visual cues, and handling qualities. In flight, the STA duplicates the orbiter?s atmospheric descent trajectory from approximately 35,000 feet altitude to landing on a runway. Because the orbiter is unpowered during re-entry and landing, its high-speed glide must be perfectly executed the first time. Mission STS-114 is scheduled to launch aboard Space Shuttle Discovery with a crew of seven on July 13 at 3:51 p.m. from Launch Pad 39B.

Description	KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - After their arrival at NASA?s Kennedy Space Center, the Return to Flight mission STS-114 crew talked briefly to media. At the microphone is Pilot James Kelly. Behind him (left to right) are Mission Commander Eileen Collins and Mission Specialists Andrew Thomas and Soichi Noguchi, who is with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, JAXA. Other crew members not pictured are Mission Specialists Charles Camarda, Wendy Lawrence and Stephen Robinson. The crew arrived a day early due to weather concerns associated with Hurricane Dennis. This historic mission is the 114th Space Shuttle flight and the 17th U.S. flight to the International Space Station. STS-114 is scheduled to launch at 3:51 p.m. July 13 and last about 12 days with a planned KSC landing at about 11:01 a.m. EDT on July 25. On mission STS-114, the crew will perform inspections on orbit for the first time of all of the Reinforced Carbon-Carbon (RCC) panels on the leading edge of the wings and the Thermal Protection System tiles using the new Canadian-built Orbiter Boom Sensor System and the data from 176 impact and temperature sensors. Mission Specialists will also practice repair techniques on RCC and tile samples during a spacewalk in the payload bay. During two additional spacewalks, the crew will install the External Stowage Platform-2, equipped with spare part assemblies, and a replacement Control Moment Gyroscope contained in the Lightweight Multi-Purpose Experiment Support Structure.
