With its drag chute deployed, orbiter Discovery and its seven-member crew roll toward a stop at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., after an 11-day mission to the International Space Station. The orbiter’s main landing gear touched down on EAFB runway 22 at 5 p.m. With the aid of its drag chute, Discovery came to a complete stop at 5:01 p.m. At the conclusion of mission STS-92, Discovery and crew had traveled about 5.3 million statute miles. Following vehicle safing and preliminary offloading efforts, workers will begin preparations for Discovery’s transcontinental ferry flight back to KSC on the back of NASA’s modified Boeing 747 KSC-00pp1669

EDWARDS, Calif. - ED09-0127-03 - Space shuttle Atlantis and its seven-member crew near touchdown on Runway 22 at Edwards Air Force Base in California, ending a nearly 13-day journey of 5.3 million miles on the STS-125 mission to repair and upgrade NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope.  Main gear touchdown was at 11:39:05 a.m. EDT.  Nose gear touchdown was at 11:39:15 a.m. EDT.  Wheel stop was at 11:40:15 a.m., bringing the mission’s elapsed time to 12 days, 21 hours, 37 minutes, 9 seconds.  Landing opportunities on May 22, May 23 and May 24 were waved off due to weather concerns at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the shuttle’s primary landing site. Through five spacewalks, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope was refurbished and upgraded with state-of-the-art science instruments that will expand Hubble's capabilities and extend its operational lifespan through at least 2014.
