Shuttle Atlantis coming home...

to Edwards Air Force Base in southern California - weather in Florida is below minimums thereby forcing NASA to use the alternative landing site. The de-orbit burn will occur at 7:24 am PDT with landing scheduled for 8:39 am.

UPDATE: Picture perfect landing at Edwards this morning concluding the spectacularly successful mission to service the Hubble Space Telescope. The next space shuttle mission STS-127 to launch to the ISS on 13 June.
