Kennedy Landings Waved Off, Discovery to Land at Edwards

Kennedy Landings Waved Off, Discovery to Land at Edwards

Mission Control has decided to target Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., for today's landing since the weather at Kennedy is unstable. The deorbit burn is timelined to begin at 7:47 p.m. EDT for an 8:53 p.m. landing at Edwards. The burn lasts three to four minutes, slowing Discovery enough to begin its descent.
