Japan's delta-wing space shuttle lands at a runway on Christmas Island in the South Pacific Friday, Oct. 18, 2002, following its first test flight. The unmanned jet-powered craft lifted off the island and soared for about 8 kilometers (5 miles) in a 10-minute flight before landing with only a slight jolt, Japan's space agency announced.
