In preparation for its upcoming STS-126 mission, space shuttle Endeavour rolled from Kennedy Space Center's Launch Pad 39B to Launch Pad 39A. Endeavour and its mobile launcher platform were carried by the giant crawler-transporter, which crept along at less than a mile an hour. This is only the third time in more than 25 years that a shuttle has been moved from one pad to the other. During the 15-day mission, Endeavour and a crew of seven astronauts will carry a reusable logistics module to the International Space Station. Launch is targeted for Nov. 14, 2008.
