In NASA's Vehicle Assembly Building, the suspended external fuel tank that will launch Space Shuttle Atlantis on the next shuttle mission, STS-115, is moved toward the checkout cell where it will undergo further work. Designated ET-118, the tank will fly with many major safety changes, including the removal of the protuberance air load ramps. Photo credit: NASA/George Shelton
