Postponed twice due to bad weather landing was planned for Friday 22 May on the basis of Cape Canaveral, Florida, but NASA has finally decided to change its plans by ordering the astronauts to land on the Edwards, California base.

NASA waited two days to decide what change in plan because of the time and money that makes it lose landing in California. The shuttle Atlantis is now back in effect in Florida on the road, representing about one week of travel and two million dollars of additional budget.
