CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Two tugboats maneuver the Pegasus barge toward the dock in the turn basin at the Launch Complex 39 Area at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. The barge contains the external fuel tank for space shuttle Endeavour's STS-126 mission to the International Space Station. 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
