The space shuttle, Atlantis, has landed in Florida after a successful 12-day construction mission to the orbiting International Space Station.

The Atlantis touched down at Kennedy Space Center in the space shuttle programme's 15th night time landing in Florida.

The landing was delayed for a day because of weather conditions and concern over debris floating near the vehicle.
