Cape Canaveral - The US space shuttle Discovery landed safely at the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida on Monday, ending a 13-day mission that may signal Nasa's full recovery from the 2003 Columbia disaster.

Discovery and its six-member crew made a fiery re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere before gliding to a smooth landing at 09:14 (13:14 GMT).

The landing brought a successful end to the US space agency's second shuttle mission since Columbia - Discovery's sister ship - broke apart over Texas just 16 minutes from landing on February 1 2003.
