Space Shuttle Discovery STS-131 Landed Safely in Florida
Space shuttle Discovery STS-131 ended a two-week journey of more than 6.2 million miles and landed at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on April 20, 2010 (Tuesday). Returning to Earth aboard the orbiter were STS-131 seven astronauts – Commander Alan Poindexter, Pilot Jim Dutton, and Mission Specialists Stephanie Wilson, Rick Mastracchio, Clay Anderson, Dottie Metcalf-Lindenburger and Naoko Yamazaki of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. The STS-131 mission to the International Space Station included three spacewalks, the installation of equipment outside the ISS, and the transfer of thousands of pounds of cargo and supplies from the orbiter’s payload bay to various locations on the station.
Congratulations! Thank Discovery STS-131 and ISS all outstanding astronauts and engineers of the United States, Russia, Japan as well as other nations for your great contributions to the aeronautic technology and space exploration.

美国航天飞机发现号完成STS-131太空站任务
美国航天飞机发现号(space shuttle Discovery)于2010年4月5日从佛罗里达州卡纳维尔角美国国家航空航天局(NASA)肯尼迪太空中心(Kennedy Space Center)发射升空后，于4月7日与国际太空站( International Space Station- ISS)对接成功。
发现号为期两周的飞行，为国际太空站冷却系统运送去新的贮氨罐，新的宇航员休息舱，以及其他新型科学研究仪器和太空站所需供给物资。
在国际太空站停留期间，航天飞机发现号STS-131宇航员进行3次太空行走。他们安装了新的贮氨罐，替换了一个回转仪，并从太空站外部收回一个日本试验设备等工作。之后，发现号STS-131于2010年4月17日安全地与国际太空站脱接。
发现号STS-131安全降落返回地球
经历约两个星期6.2 百万英里太空飞行旅程后，执行STS-131飞行任务的航天飞机发现号已于2010年4月20日(星期二)美国东部标准时间上午9:08a.m.EST安全降落在美国佛罗里达州NASA肯尼迪太空中心， 顺利返回地球。发现号STS-131国际太空站航天任务至此圆满成功。
祝贺发现号STS-131和国际太空站全体宇航员和工程师对我们伟大的航天科技与探索太空任务，再次作出贡献!
