Guest guest Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Monday, 17 July 2006, 13:18 GMT 14:18 UK Discovery makes Florida landing A heat shield scan showed there was no damage to the space shuttle The Discovery space shuttle and its six-strong crew have returned to Earth after a 13-day mission to the International Space Station. The orbiter touched down at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 1314 GMT. Mission control had raised concerns about weather conditions, but gave the go-ahead shortly before the shuttle began its hour-long descent. Nasa hopes the mission's apparent success has drawn a line under doubts over the shuttle programme's safety. Discovery was cleared for re-entry over the weekend when inspections revealed no signs of damage to the craft. The orbiter's flight is only the second shuttle mission since the Columbia broke up on re-entry in 2003 killing everyone on board and grounding the rest of the shuttle fleet. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/5186964.stm Everything was OK.
