CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Viewed from inside the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, External Tank-138 is being towed toward the massive door of the building. 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.
