The space shuttle Atlantis has landed in California, where it was diverted after continuing stormy weather prevented a Florida touchdown.
Atlantis landed at 1539 GMT at Edwards Air Force Base.
Officials had aborted Saturday's planned landing at the Kennedy Space Center for the second consecutive day.
The seven astronauts on board Atlantis have taken part in an ambitious and risky mission to service and re-fit the Hubble telescope.
Nasa said that weather conditions over Florida forced flight controllers to give up on Sunday's first landing opportunity at Kennedy Space Center.
Well they are back safe after a very successful mission
