CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) -- Space shuttle Atlantis is headed for a landing, weather permitting.
The shuttle's seven astronauts hope to wrap up their 11-day
flight Friday. Good weather is forecast for the 9:44 a.m. landing.
Atlantis and its crew spent a week at the International Space
Station, delivering big spare parts. NASA says the equipment should keep the station in business for years to come.
Returning aboard Atlantis is former station resident Nicole
Stott. Friday marks her 91st day in orbit. Stott says she can't
wait to see her husband and 7-year-old son, bite into a pizza and drink some icy cola.
Astronaut Randolph Bresnik is looking forward to holding his
baby daughter for the first time. She was born last weekend,
between his two spacewalks.
