KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- In the Space Station Processing Facility, workers prepare to process the newly arrived S5 truss segment for the International Space Station. It will be fit checked for a Photo-Voltaic Radiator Grapple Fixture and also undergo a fit check to a truss simulator to ensure that it will fit properly with the S4 and S6 truss segments. S5 is scheduled for launch in October 2003 on mission STS-118. It will be the tenth truss assembled in an 11-truss structure
