CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida (Reuters) - The space shuttle Atlantis landed smoothly at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Wednesday after a 12-day resupply mission to the International Space Station.

Atlantis and its six astronauts touched down on the runway at 8:48 a.m. It was the third-to-last mission for the U.S. shuttle program and is scheduled to be the last for Atlantis. NASA's other two shuttles, Discovery and Endeavour, will make their final flights in September and November.
