Space shuttle Discovery and its seven-member crew are expected to return to Earth on Monday, April 19, after a 14-day mission. NASA managers will evaluate weather conditions before permitting Discovery to land.
Monday landing opportunities at Kennedy are at 8:51 a.m. and 10:26 a.m. EDT.
If Discovery is unable to land Monday, additional opportunities are available at Kennedy on Tuesday at 7:33 a.m. and 9:08 a.m., and at backup landing site Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., at 9 a.m., 10:36 a.m. and 12:11 p.m.
Approximately two hours after Discovery lands, NASA officials will hold a briefing to discuss the mission.
After touchdown, the astronauts will undergo routine physical examinations and meet with their families.
The crew will participate in a post-landing news conference about four and a half hours after landing.
