The Space Shuttle Discovery has finally arrived back at Florida’s Kennedy Space Centre after travelling piggy-back across the US on a modified Boeing 747.

It had originally left Edwards Air Force Base on Friday but bad weather had delayed its arrival in Florida.

At this current stage the future of the shuttle is uncertain after NASA announced the fleet would remain grounded until next year.
