Columbia lands at White Sands after 130 orbits
NASA reported shuttle Columbia completed a 130 orbit mission before landing at White Sands New Mexico. Commander Gordon Fullerton and pilot Jack Lousma guided the craft to a controlled descent after a high speed reentry, with Mission Control approving the landing despite high winds potential and a possible Cape Canaveral alternative. A crowd gathered as cheers erupted and Nagel radioed a warm welcome. The plane’s entry included a 184 mph deceleration as it skimmed the desert, following a west coast-to-desert, Pacific, Hawaii and Arizona route before final touchdown.
