16:15 a.m. - Touchdown! Discovery is rolling out on Kennedy Space Center's runway 15, capping a successful two-week, 5.7-million-mile mission to add Japan's Pressurized Module for its Kibo laboratory to the International Space Station.

The landing vid will be available online once it is complete
they are doing the 'system down' procedure at the moment

16:19 a.m. - With Discovery safely back on the ground at Kennedy Space Center, the landing convoy is rolling slowly onto the runway. Before the crew can exit Discovery, safety teams have to check vapor levels around the orbiter to ensure there are no buildups of explosive or toxic gases. The next step will be to pump cool, humidified air into the payload bay and other areas to remove any remaining fumes.
