KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- A water truck (at right) creates a ghostlike image against the black sky as it sprays the dust on the dry crawlerway in front of space shuttle Endeavour (at left). The shuttle is rolling out to Launch Pad 39A for the STS-123 mission. The journey from the Vehicle Assembly Building began at 11:24 p.m. on Feb. 17, approximately 30 minutes before it's scheduled start time due to favorable weather conditions. The shuttle arrived at the launch pad at 4:45 a.m. Monday and was hard down at 6:22 a.m. On the mission, Endeavour and its crew will deliver the first section of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's Kibo laboratory and the Canadian Space Agency's two-armed robotic system, Dextre. Launch is targeted for March 11. Photo credit: NASA/Amanda Diller
