US Space Shuttle Endeavour landed on Sunday after a 16-day mission to remodel and repair the International Space Station. Stormy weather at the shuttle’s main Florida landing site forced mission controllers to divert Endeavour and its crew of seven astronauts across the country to Edwards Air Force Base, where it glided to Earth at 4:25 p.m. EST.

It was an important mission to the space station and Endeavour delivered a new bathroom, kitchenette, exercise machine, two sleeping quarters, and a recycling system that converts astronauts’ urine and sweat into drinking water. During the mission, astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper lost a $100,000 tool bag.
