Good view of discovery here. Still 73 miles away from Kennedy Space Center and 15 miles up. Traveling 1700 miles per hour with 6 minutes to go. Discover Houston. You are on energy approaching the hack. No changes to winds and weather. Go for nominal shoot deploy. Discover Houston. Be approaching the imaginary circle leading towards the runway. That is created by the microwave scan beam landing system. That allows the commander and pilot to guide the vehicle as it makes its final approach to runway 33 at Kennedy Space Center. The commander will take control of the shuttle steering once its speed is dropped below Mach 1. It is at 1.2 right now. Mach 1 being the speed of sound. Discovering is currently traveling 800 miles per hour. 68 miles away from Kennedy Space Center and less than 10 miles an altitude. Discovering we make it its left hand overhead turn of 200 degrees before it is lined up with runway 33. Commander Alan Pointexter is now at the controls of Space Shuttle Discovery as it is reach subsonic sail. Speans rather. The sonic booms announcing. The ship's now just 6-8 miles away from Kennedy Space Center. 27,000 feet an altitude and traveling 530 miles per hour. The pilot Jim Dunton is taking over controls of the shuttle for a moment. That call from Capcom Rick Sturco indicates the shuttle has 180 degrees to go and its turn around toward runway 33. I will continue to look good on board discoveries. It makes it its way home. 68 miles to go. Currently 3 miles an altitude and traveling 420 miles per hour. Commander Alan Pointexter now back in control of Space Shuttle Discovery. Just 2 minutes now until touchdown. It is in Discovery runway in sight. Roger. Listen the minute and a half until touchdown. The ship's now at a rate 20 times higher and 7 times deeper than what a commercial airline would experience on its final approach. One minute now to touchdown. Discovery's landing gear will be locked down and into place at 300 feet an altitude. It's currently 3,500 feet and traveling at a rate of 370 miles per hour. 30 seconds until touchdown. The pilot Jim Dunton now depoing the drag shoot. The pilot is now at the nose gear touchdown. That brings it into the STS-131 mission, the 131st Space Shuttle flight and the 33rd to the International Space Station. Discovery left Florida on April 5th with 7.6 tons of new science equipment and spare parts including equipment that should improve the station's capability for Earth observation work, equipment that could help astronauts avoid the commercial astrophysic and science to better understand muscle atrophy and equipment that will help keep the station systems cooling properly. Discovery brings on with it the last large return load from the station two tons of used equipment. Roger, we'll stop Discovery. Welcome home. Decks, congratulations to you and the crew on an outstanding mission. There are no media post-lending deltas will meet you on page 5-3 of the Entry Checklist.
