1st Ld: Space shuttle Discovery lands in Florida
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 22 (Xinhua) — Space shuttle Discovery landed safely at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Friday, completing its 13-day mission in space.
Discovery and its seven-member crew touched down at 5:32 p.m. EST.
NASA Managers decided to land Discovery in Florida about two hours after they had scrubbed Discovery’s first chance at Kennedy Space Center because of expected rain.
But the showers and clouds disappeared through the afternoon.
