CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., June 22 (Reuters) - NASA decided on Friday to land the U.S. space shuttle Atlantis at a backup landing site in California after clouds and rain prevented it from landing at its home port in Florida. The shuttle, which spent most of its two-week mission at the International Space Station, was due to land at Edwards Air Force Base in the Mojave Desert at 3:49 p.m. EDT (1949 GMT).
