Inclement weather has delayed the return of the STS-117 astronauts to the Earth by one additional orbit. They will attempt another de-orbit burn and landing in about 2 hours, 34 minutes--after completing one more trip around the Earth.
The weather for Thursday morning around KSC in Florida has contained low clouds and thunderstorms within a 30-mile radius of the runway. A front previously located in the Florida Panhandle, northwest of KSC, is the cause of the overcast and rainy conditions at Kennedy.

If Atlantis cannot land on Thursday, NASA officials will consider landing it at Edwards Air Force Base in California on Friday.
