John Glenn and the rest of the STS-95 Space Shuttle Discovery crew successfully completed their 9-day mission on Nov. 7, 1998. The mission lifted off from NASA's Kennedy Space Center Launch Complex 39B in Florida at 2:19 p.m. EST on Thursday, Oct. 29.
More than 36 years after he made history as the first American to orbit the Earth, Sen. John H. Glenn Jr. returned to space as part of a multinational crew with the launch of Discovery. STS-95 involved more than 80 scientific experiments investigating mysteries that spanned the realm from the inner universe of the human body to studies of our own sun and its solar activity.
