The space shuttle launches from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida and has landed both back at the Kennedy Space Center but also at the Edwards Air Force Base in California and the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico most recently due to poor weather at the Kennedy Space Center.
Landing facilities at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX are limited and cannot support the space shuttle.
