CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the external fuel tank designated ET-133 is moved out of NASA's Pegasus barge docked at the Turn Basin. The tank will be used for space shuttle Atlantis' STS-129 mission. After unloading, the tank will be 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
