Shuttle Atlantis landed at Edwards Air Force Base in California's Mojave Desert. The nine-day mission nearly came to an abrupt halt when Atlantis's crew had difficulty opening the Shuttle's cargo bay doors during descent. After considering an emergency landing, NASA controllers directed Atlantis's crew to open the doors manually. The crew successfully performed this necessary maneuver only to confront dangerous weather that prevented their landing at Kennedy Space Center.
