KENNEDY SPACE CENTER -- Astronauts from space shuttle Atlantis are now enjoying their first night home.
The shuttle touched down at KSC at 9:44 a.m. Friday after swooping through a clear sky.
The landing ended an 11-day flight for Atlantis.
The astronauts spent a week stockpiling the International Space Station with big spare parts.
Even with the beautiful landing, mission managers are looking forward to the next mission of space shuttle Endeavour in February.
NASA mission mangers said there isn't a hard date they need to stick to for Endeavour's launch.
They also said there are a few conflicts down the line, so that is why they are looking at sliding the launch date a few days.
