CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Inside NASA's Pegasus barge at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida is the external fuel tank designated ET-133 that will be used for space shuttle Atlantis' STS-129 mission. The tank will be unloaded and moved into a high bay in the Vehicle Assembly Building for checkout. The tank was shipped aboard the Pegasus from NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility near New Orleans. Pegasus was towed to Port Canaveral by the Freedom Star Retrieval Ship. Launch of Atlantis is targeted for November. Photo credit: NASA/Troy Cryder
