CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – The Pegasus barge containing the external fuel tank for space shuttle Endeavour's STS-126 mission to the International Space Station is towed by a tugboat from Port Canaveral, Fla., for its trip on the Banana River to the Launch Complex 39 Area at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. The tank will be offloaded at the turn basin near the Vehicle Assembly Building and transported to the VAB. There it will be lifted and lowered into a checkout cell. The STS-126 mission will deliver a Multi-Purpose Logistics Module to the International Space Station. Launch is targeted for Nov. 10. Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett
