Space Shuttle Atlantis STS-110 landed at NASA's KSC in Cape Canaveral, Florida, at 10:27 a.m. (EST). While in orbit, the Shuttle's crew had performed four spacewalks to connect the S0 Truss to the ISS and to prepare the MT~ a track-mounted platform~ for use. The crew had used the robotic arms of both Atlantis and the ISS to install the truss. STS-110 was the first mission in which the crew had used the ISS's robotic arm to maneuver crew members around the station as they performed spacewalks. In addition, it was the first mission in which the crew's base for all of its spacewalks was the ISS's Quest Airlock. The Shuttle's crew had also engaged in joint operations with the ISS's Expedition 4 crew. The total duration of STS-110 was 10 days, 19 hours, and 42 minutes.
