CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – The external fuel tank for space shuttle Endeavour's STS-126 mission to the International Space Station is offloaded from the Pegasus barge at the turn basin dock near the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. The tank arrived earlier after a six-day ocean voyage towed by a solid rocket booster retrieval ship from the Michoud Assembly Facility near New Orleans. The tank will be transported to the VAB transfer aisle, 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
