STS-92-A was a joint ISA and NASA space shuttle mission using the Space Shuttle Endeavour, launched February 5, 2009 from SLC-6 at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. This was intended to be a multi-disciplinary Earth science research mission with a multitude of international scientific experiments in addition to being the first manned launch from the West Coast.

Following SRB separation, the Endeavour lost power to all three main engines and was forced to make a trans-oceanic abort landing at Mataveri International Airport on Easter Island.
