Space shuttle Discovery landed safely in Florida yesterday afternoon, bringing STS-119 to a successful conclusion. The mission largely completed construction of the ISS, and brought it to full power with the installation of the final pair of solar panel wings.
For a little more than a day, with a new Soyuz on its way to ISS and Discovery still in space, the human population in Earth orbit stood at 13, the highest ever.
Next up for the space shuttle program-- the final repair of the Hubble Space Telescope.
