Space Shuttle Atlantis landed at NASA's KSC in Cape Canaveral, Florida, at 10:44 a.m. (CDT), marking the end of STS-112. During the mission, Atlantis's crew had conducted joint operations with the ISS Expedition 5 crew, including the installation of the S1 Truss to the ISS's Integrated Truss Structure. Astronauts Piers J. Sellers and David A. Wolf had performed three spacewalks to install the truss. In addition, the Shuttle's crew members had transferred cargo to the ISS and had used the Shuttle's thruster jets to raise the station's orbit. The mission's total duration was 10 days, 19 hours, and 58 minutes.
