Space shuttle Atlantis landed safely on a California desert runway Sunday, completing a secret military mission that included the launch of a $500 million spy satellite. Atlantis, carrying a crew of five military men, plunged through the Earth's atmosphere and flashed over the California coastline north of Los Angeles. It touched down at Edwards Air Force base at 10:08 a.m. PST after 4.4 days in space. A Pentagon-imposed blackout blocked public announcement of the mission activities, and because of the secret nature of the mission, the landing was closed to the general public. A few hundred invited guests, however, watched as the shuttle landed. New waste site needs state O.K. BISHOPVILLE ?
