KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- A transporter moves external tank No. 120 away from the Pegasus barge, which is docked at the Launch Complex 39 Area turn basin. The tank is being moved to the Vehicle Assembly Building and will be 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. ET-120 will be used for launching Space Shuttle Discovery on mission STS-120 in October. NASA/Amanda Diller
