The space shuttle's final landing - watch live
Video from Nasa
Space shuttle Atlantis came back toward Earth on Thursday to make the very last landing of the 30-year programme.
Atlantis' crew of four fired the braking rockets to set them on a course toward an on-time landing just before dawn at 10.56am BST.
"The weather couldn't be better," Mission Control assured shuttle commander Christopher Ferguson.
NASA is ending its shuttle program with Atlantis' successful space station re-supply mission. It is the 135th flight in shuttle history. This grand finale comes 50 years to the day that Gus Grissom became the second American in space, aboard Liberty Bell 7.
Hundreds gathered at Nasa's landing strip to welcome Atlantis home.
"Time to make our mamas proud," flight director Tony Ceccacci told his team in Houston's Mission Control. "Coming home, folks."
