Space shuttle Atlantis with seven-member crew is packing the orbiter and preparing to return home on Friday at NASA’s Florida spaceport.
The space shuttle Atlantis left the International Space Station early Wednesday wrapping the 31st shuttle flight.
NASA replaced the shuttle with a traditional turkey icon on its Mission Control map tracking the spacecraft in honour of the American Thanksgiving holiday.
The seven astronauts includes Commander Charlie Hobaugh, Pilot Barry Wilmore and Mission Specialists Randy Bresnik, Mike Foreman, Leland Melvin, Robert Satcher Jr. and Nicole Stott.
