Space shuttle Atlantis and its seven astronauts are back on Earth.
The shuttle landed at Kennedy Space Center in Florida this morning, swooping through a clear sky. It was a chilly homecoming: The temperature was in the low 50s.
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.
