Roll out the barrels, or in this case, space shuttle external fuel tank ET-129. This big tank rolled out at NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans August 6, and loaded onto an enclosed barge for a five-day sea journey to NASA's Kennedy Space Center, Florida, scheduled to arrive on August 11.

Upon its arrival at Kennedy, ET-129 will be joined to its twin solid rocket boosters and space shuttle Endeavour to fly on the STS-126 mission to the International Space Station. Endeavour is targeted to launch on November 10.
