CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – The external fuel tank for space shuttle Endeavour's STS-126 mission to the International Space Station comes to rest in the transfer aisle of the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. The tank arrived earlier after a six-day ocean voyage towed by a solid rocket booster retrieval ship from the Michoud Assembly Facility near New Orleans. The tank will be lifted and lowered into a checkout cell. The STS-126 mission will deliver a Multi-Purpose Logistics Module to the International Space Station. Launch is targeted for Nov. 10.
