CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- A close-up view of External Tank-138 being lifted above the transfer aisle in the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The external fuel tank is being moved into a test cell where it will be checked out before launch. ET-138, the last newly manufactured tank, was originally designated to fly on Endeavour's STS-134 mission to the International Space Station, but later reassigned to fly on space shuttle Atlantis' final mission, STS-135.
