USA-SHUTTLE LANDING - Space Shuttle Atlantis touches down at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, USA, concluding the 30-year-old shuttle program.
The shuttle had docked at the International Space Station for nine days, and delivered five tonnes of food, clothing, equipment and science experiments.
The U.S. has no replacement spaceships ready to fly.
Astronauts will fly aboard Russian Soyuz capsules at a cost of more than $50 million per person until U.S. companies are able to offer similar transportation services.
