The space shuttle Discovery undocked from the International Space Station for the final time on Monday morning as it prepares to return to Earth on Wednesday. Discovery undocked from the station at 7:00 am EST (1200 GMT) and circled the station to take images of it before departing from the vicinity of the station. The shuttle's crew later performed standard "late inspections" of the leading edges of the shuttle's wings and its nose cap. Discovery is scheduled to land at the Kennedy Space Center at 11:58 am EST (1658 GMT).
