The S5 truss segment for the International Space Station is prepared for ground transport after being offloaded from the Super Guppy aircraft.

At the Shuttle Landing Facility, the S5 truss segment for the International Space Station is prepared for ground transport after being offloaded from the Super Guppy transport aircraft on which it arrived. The S5 truss will be taken to the Space Station Processing Facility where it will be fit checked for a Photo-Voltaic Radiator Grapple Fixture. It will also undergo a fit check to a truss simulator to ensure that it will fit properly with the S4 and S6 truss segments. S5 is scheduled for launch in October 2003 on mission STS-118. It will be the tenth truss assembled in an 11-truss structure.
