CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, technicians begin to lift the new S-band antenna support assembly for installation on ExPRESS Logistics Carrier-3 in the Space Station Processing Facility. The assembly will be used aboard the International Space Station to transmit and receive audio communications, and is being installed for the STS-134 mission. Space shuttle Endeavour will take up other spare parts, including a high-pressure gas tank, micrometeoroid debris shields and replacement parts for Dextre, the robotic arm on the station. STS-134, the last planned shuttle mission, is targeted to launch in the fall of 2010.
