CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Controlled by a United Space Alliance technician, a transporter moves External Tank 130 toward the open door of the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The Pegasus barge transported the fuel tank from the Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans. ET 130, which will be used on the Hubble servicing mission, STS-125, will be moved into a high bay for checkout. The fuel tank was previously designated for the STS-127 mission.
