Shuttle Discovery lands at Edwards AFB

HOUSTON, Sept. 11 (UPI) -- Space Shuttle Discovery landed Friday in California after bad weather prevented landings in Florida two straight days.

NASA said the shuttle landed at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., at 5:53 p.m. PDT.

The space agency said skies were "pristine" at Edwards, in the California high desert.

During their mission to the International Space Station, the shuttle's crew members completed all of their major objectives, including three spacewalks, transferring 17,000 pounds of cargo and delivering three research facilities, NASA said.

Stormy weather prevented landings at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Fla., Thursday and Friday.
