CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, workers accompany External Tank-135 as it is transported to the Vehicle Assembly Building in the background. The tank arrived in Florida on Dec. 26 aboard the Pegasus barge, towed by a solid rocket booster retrieval ship from NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility near New Orleans. ET-135 will be used to launch space shuttle Discovery on the STS-131 mission to the International Space Station. Launch is targeted for March 18.
