Space Shuttle Atlantis Landing: Watch Live

The space shuttle Atlantis and its seven-person crew are slated to return to Earth on Friday, November 27, 2009 after an 11-day mission.

The two chances for a landing at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida will be at 9:44 a.m. and 11:19 a.m. EST.

NASA will analyze weather conditions at the space center before allowing Atlantis to land. If bad weather keeps Atlantis from returning to Earth on Friday or Saturday, the backup landing site at Edwards Air Force Base in California will be activated on Sunday. For recorded updates about the shuttle landing, call 321-867-2525.
