KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- Getting ready for the STS-123 mission, space shuttle Endeavour begins rollout to Launch Pad 39A. Lights below the shuttle fill the mobile launcher platform. The lights below that illuminate the crawler transporter. The journey from the Vehicle Assembly Building began at 11:24 p.m. on Feb. 17, approximately 30 minutes before it's scheduled start time due to favorable weather conditions. The shuttle arrived at the launch pad at 4:45 a.m. Monday and was hard down at 6:22 a.m. On the mission, Endeavour and its crew will deliver the first section of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's Kibo laboratory and the Canadian Space Agency's two-armed robotic system, Dextre. Launch is targeted for March 11. Photo credit: NASA/Amanda Diller
