During 15-days in space astronauts installed a new module, relocated and repaired damaged solar arrays and conducted four spacewalks while also transferring supplies and personnel. Once Discovery is safely on the ground, nasa personnel won't have a lot of down time as they make final preparations to move Space Shuttle Atlantis out to the pad for its launch early next month. Don't miss our special coverage of todays landing. We bring you the landing live at 1:00 p.m. on News 8 Now. Discovery will land barring any weather related delays.
