Shuttle lands in Florida
Posted: Wed, Nov 7, 2007, 9:20 PM ET (0220 GMT)
The space shuttle Discovery landed in Florida Wednesday afternoon, ending a 15-day mission to upgrade and repair the International Space Station. Discovery landed at the Kennedy Space Center on its first landing opportunity, touching down at 1:01 pm EDT, just over 15 days after it launched to begin mission STS-120. Discovery delivered a new node module, named Harmony, to the ISS, and its crew was called up to repair a solar panel that tore during unfolding after being moved to its permanent location on the station's truss. The orbiter Atlantis is scheduled to launch on the next shuttle mission, STS-122, in about a month on a mission to install the European lab module Columbus on the ISS.
