Space Shuttle Atlantis begins its return to Earth
February 21, 2008 - 12:22AM
The space shuttle Atlantis left orbit Wednesday, shortly after 1300 GMT, and began its long descent toward its landing site here, due in a little more than one hour, NASA said.
"Thank you, we are in our way home," said Commander Steve Frick.
Co-pilot Alan Poindexter fired up two small engines for two minutes and 44 seconds to slow the shuttle to some 250 km per hour from some 27,000 km per hour, or 25 times the speed of sound.
