CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the massive open door of the Vehicle Assembly Building welcomes External Tank-138. The external fuel tank arrived in Florida on July 13, from NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility near New Orleans. ET-138, the last newly manufactured tank, was originally designated to fly on Endeavour's STS-134 mission to the International Space Station, but later reassigned to fly on space shuttle Atlantis' final mission, STS-135.
