Space Shuttle Atlantis safely landed on the Kennedy Space Center at 5:14 AM before dawn. The Shuttle arrives after completing one of the largest construction mission for the International Space Station since the tragedy of Space Shuttle Columbia in 2003. The discovery of an unknown floating object near the Space Shuttle in space had delayed the reentry of the Shuttle for one day. NASA plans to have 14 more Space Shuttle missions for the construction of the International Space Station.
