CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, workers prepare External Tank-138 for offload from the Pegasus barge docked in the turn basin near the Vehicle Assembly Building. The external fuel tank arrived in Florida on July 13, from NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility near New Orleans. ET-138, the last newly manufactured tank, was originally designated to fly on Endeavour's STS-134 mission to the International Space Station, but later reassigned to fly on space shuttle Atlantis' final mission, STS-135.
