Shuttle Discovery ends stellar space career BY STEPHEN CLARK SPACEFLIGHT NOW Posted: March 9, 2011 Gliding back to Earth after nearly two weeks in space, the shuttle Discovery touched down on Runway 15 at the Kennedy Space Center at 11:57 a.m. EST (1657 GMT). Discovery wrapped up its 39th and final mission into space, ending an illustrious career as the most-traveled member of America's space shuttle fleet. Discovery's six-person crew left a new module at the International Space Station and resupplied the complex for life after the shuttle's retirement. Spaceflight Now photos by Stephen Clark
