At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the Space Shuttle Program's final solid rocket booster assembly -- the right-hand forward -- is being transported from Kennedy's Assembly Refurbishment Facility to the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB).


The right and left forward assemblies, which are refurbished and processed at Kennedy, are comprised of three components -- nose cap, frustum and forward skirt. Inside the VAB, the boosters will be stacked, then joined to an external fuel tank and space shuttle Atlantis for what currently is planned as the "launch on need," or potential rescue mission, for Endeavour's STS-134 mission to the International Space Station targeted to launch in February, 2011.
