CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – In Orbiter Processing Bay 2 at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, a Hyster forklift is moved into position to remove main engine no. 1 from space shuttle Endeavour. Engine removal is part of the post-landing processing; engine no. 2 was removed Aug. 17. Endeavour returned from the STS-127 mission July 31. Endeavour's next mission is STS-130 targeted for February 2010. Endeavour will deliver to the International Space Station the Tranquility pressurized module that will provide room for many of the station's life support systems. Photo credit: NASA/Jack Pfaller
