CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Under lights, the external tank for space shuttle Atlantis' STS-125 mission to NASA's Hubble Space Telescope is moved away from the Pegasus barge, which is docked in the Launch Complex 39 Area at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. The tank, which arrived at the turn basin earlier in the day, will be moved to the Vehicle Assembly Building. Inside the building, the tank will be raised to vertical, lifted and moved into a checkout cell. Stacking of the tank and solid rocket boosters is scheduled for Aug. 7. Atlantis is targeted to launch Oct. 8. Photo credit: NASA/Amanda Diller
