CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- The Liberty Star retrieval ship ushers a tugboat pulling the Pegasus Barge toward the Turn Basin at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The barge is carrying the Space Shuttle Program's last external fuel tank, ET-122. The tank traveled 900 miles by sea from NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans. Next, the tank will be offloaded and moved to the Vehicle Assembly Building where it eventually will be attached to space shuttle Endeavour for the STS-134 mission to the International Space Station. STS-134, targeted to launch in Feb. 2011, currently is scheduled to be the last mission in the Space Shuttle Program. The tank, which is the largest element of the space shuttle stack, was damaged during Hurricane Katrina in August 2005 and restored to flight configuration by Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company employees.
