CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Viewed from across the turn basin in the Launch Complex 39 area at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, External Tank-138 is being offloaded from the Pegasus barge 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.
