	The Discovery space shuttle and its six-strong crew have returned to Earth after a 13-day mission to the International Space Station. The orbiter touched down at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 1314 GMT. Mission control had raised concerns about weather conditions, but gave the go-ahead shortly before the shuttle began its hour-long descent. Nasa hopes the mission's apparent success has drawn a line under doubts over the shuttle programme's safety. 'Welcome back Discovery and congratulations on a great mission,' mission control told shuttle commander Steven Lindsey, as the orbiter came to a halt on the runway after deploying its parachute. 'It was a great mission. A really great mission,' Lindsey replied.
