Discovery landed on orbit 238, on the 1st KSC opportunity, at runway 33 at GMT 311:18:01:21, with wheel stop a minute later. There were no observed anomalies during the re-entry & landing operations. All aspects of the landing appeared to be completely nominal.

Landing weather was observed and forecasted 'GO', and Flight Director gave the flight crew a 'GO' for de-orbit burn 1 hour and 12 minutes prior. Due to the strong, but acceptable, headwinds at the shuttle landing facility, Discovery landed with the close-in aimpoint for the outer glideslope.

Other flight day 16 activities included payload bay door closure and normal deorbit preparation tasks.

There are no new anomalies at this time.
