Space shuttle Atlantis lands safely in Florida


    EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, California (Reuters) - The U.S. space shuttle Atlantis returned safely to Earth on Sunday, after two days of landing delays caused by bad weather at the end of 13-day mission to refurbish the Hubble Space Telescope.

    The shuttle touched down at the Edwards Air Force base in California.

    The Atlantis astronauts installed a new camera, replaced batteries and fixed instruments on the 19-year-old Hubble telescope, repairs that scientists hope will keep it in good working order for at least another five years.
