CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- An alligator basks in the sun on the bank of the Banana River near NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida while the Pegasus barge passes by with its cargo of external tank 130. Pegasus arrived in Florida after an ocean voyage towed by a solid rocket booster retrieval ship from NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility near New Orleans. It is being towed to the turn basin near the Vehicle Assembly Building, or VAB, at Kennedy. After the Pegasus docks, the fuel tank will be offloaded and transported to the VAB. External tank 130 is the one designated for space shuttle Endeavour on the STS-127 mission targeted for launch on May 15. Photo credit: NASA/Troy Cryder
