US space shuttle Atlantis has landed after a two-week mission to the International Space Station (ISS).

The shuttle touched down at the Edwards Air Force Base in California's Mojave desert at 1249 (1949 GMT).

Poor weather conditions caused the touch-down to be first delayed and then moved from the original landing site, the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
