Looking relaxed and happy to be home, four of the STS-71 astronauts pose before the orbiter Atlantis after an end-of-mission landing on Runway 15 of the Shuttle Landing Facility. From left are STS-71 Mission Specialist Bonnie Dunbar; Pilot Charles Precourt; Mission Commander Robert "Hoot" Gibson; and Mission Specialist Gregory Harbaugh. Payload Commander Dr. Ellen Baker opted not to get out of the Crew Transport Vehicle for the traditional post-landing walk around the vehicle, nor did the three crew members returning from the Russian Space Station Mir. Atlantis touched down at 10:54:36 a.m. EDT, concluding Mission STS-71.
