Live at KSC: Shuttle landing coming up

Shuttle Atlantis just made landfall over Fort Myers and is speeding across the Florida peninsula on its way to a 9:07 a.m. landing at Kennedy Space Center.

Long-range cameras now are showing faint images of the shuttle, which is expected to touchdown 2,500 feet down Runway 15 at a speed of 195 knots -- 225 miles per hour. The landing and rollout will cap a mission to deliver the European Columbus science lab to the International Space Station.
