Space Shuttle Atlantis landed at 12:33 p.m. February 20 on the runway at Edwards Air Force Base, CA, where NASA’s Dryden Flight Research Center is located. The mission, which began February 7, logged 5.3 million miles as the shuttle orbited Earth while delivering the Destiny science laboratory to the International Space Station. Inclement weather conditions in Florida prompted the decision to land Atlantis at Edwards. The last time a space shuttle landed at Edwards was Oct. 24, 2000.February 20, 2001
