The Space Shuttle Discovery settles to the main runway at Edwards, CA to conclude mission STS-64. The mission featured the study of clouds and the atmosphere with a laser beaming system called Lidar In-Space Technology Experiment (LITE), and the first untethered space walk in over 10 years. A Spartan satellite was also deployed and later retrieved in the study of the sun’s corona and the solar wind.September 20, 1994
