CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - In the Space Station Processing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, a cargo transport container is lifted off the floor of the clean room. The container is being moved toward the ExPRESS Logistics Carrier-3, or ELC-3, on which it will be installed. The ELC-3 and the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer are the primary payloads on space shuttle Endeavour's STS-134 mission to the International Space Station. Spare parts, including two S-band communications antennas; a high pressure gas tank; replacement parts for Dextre, the robotic hand on the station; and micrometeoroid debris shields, also will be delivered to the station. Endeavour's launch is targeted for mid-November. For information on the STS-134 mission, visit http:__www.nasa.gov_mission_pages_shuttle_shuttlemissions_sts134_index.html.
