EDWARDS, Calif. - ED09-0127-03 - Space shuttle Atlantis and its seven-member crew near touchdown on Runway 22 at Edwards Air Force Base in California, ending a nearly 13-day journey of 5.3 million miles on the STS-125 mission to repair and upgrade NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. Main gear touchdown was at 11:39:05 a.m. EDT. Nose gear touchdown was at 11:39:15 a.m. EDT. Wheel stop was at 11:40:15 a.m., bringing the mission’s elapsed time to 12 days, 21 hours, 37 minutes, 9 seconds. Landing opportunities on May 22, May 23 and May 24 were waved off due to weather concerns at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the shuttle’s primary landing site. Through five spacewalks, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope was refurbished and upgraded with state-of-the-art science instruments that will expand Hubble's capabilities and extend its operational lifespan through at least 2014.
