STS-82 Discovery OV-103 launch and landing

STS082-S-008 (21 Feb 1997) --- The Space Shuttle Discovery partially lights up the early morning sky as it as it lands on Runway 15 at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC), following a 10-day mission in Earth-orbit. Landing occurred at 3:32:26 a.m. (EST), February 21, 1997. The crew members are astronauts Kenneth D. Bowersox, commander; Scott J. Horowitz, pilot; Mark C. Lee, payload commander; and mission specialists Steven A. Hawley, Gregory J. Harbaugh, Steven L. Smith and Joseph R. Tanner. The primary mission of the flight was to service the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) - a task which required five Extravehicular Activities (EVA) (including an unscheduled EVA) of two alternating two-member teams. STS-82 represents the 22nd flight of Discovery and the 82nd Space Transportation System (STS) flight, as well as the ninth nocturnal landing in STS history.
