KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- A tug boat tows a newly arrived external tank in the Banana River to its offloading site. External tanks are built by the NASA Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans and transported by barge to Cape Canaveral and then up the Banana River to the turn basin in the Launch Complex 39 Area. From there it will be transported to the Vehicle Assembly Building where the tank will await stacking for a future Shuttle mission
