KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- External tank No. 120 is ready to be offloaded from the Pegasus barge, which is docked at the Launch Complex 39 Area turn basin. The tank will be moved to the Vehicle Assembly Building and lifted into a checkout cell. The barge carried the tank from the Michoud Assembly Facility near New Orleans, making the journey around the Florida peninsula in tow by the JA Bisso II tugboat, to Port Canaveral and Kennedy Space Center. After the tank is offloaded, it will be towed to the Vehicle Assembly Building for lifting into a checkout cell. ET-120 will be used for launching Space Shuttle Discovery on mission STS-120 in October. NASA/Amanda Diller
