The space shuttle Discovery landed in Florida Wednesday afternoon, ending a 15-day mission to upgrade and repair the International Space Station. Discovery landed at the Kennedy Space Center on its first landing opportunity, touching down at 1:01 pm EDT, just over 15 days after it launched to begin mission STS-120. Discovery delivered a new node module, named Harmony, to the ISS, and its crew was called up to repair a solar panel that tore during unfolding after being moved to its permanent location on the station's truss. The orbiter Atlantis is scheduled to launch on the next shuttle mission, STS-122, in about a month on a mission to install the European lab module Columbus on the ISS.

The space shuttle Discovery undocked from the International Space Station on Monday morning after completing a mission to install a new station module and repair a damaged solar panel. Discovery undocked from the station at 5:32 am EST (1032 GMT) and flew around the station, performing a photographic survey, before departing the station's vicinity. The shuttle crew will spend time on Monday checking the leading edges of the orbiter's wings for any damage in advance of their reentry and landing, currently scheduled for 1:02 pm EST (1802 GMT) Wednesday at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
