CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – A C-17 cargo plane arrives at the Shuttle Landing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida with its cargo of the EXPRESS Logistics Carrier for the STS-129 mission. In the background is the mate/demate device used to separate a space shuttle from the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft. The carrier is part of the payload on space shuttle Atlantis, which will deliver to the International Space Station components including two spare gyroscopes, two nitrogen tank assemblies, two pump modules, an ammonia tank assembly and a spare latching end effector for the station's robotic arm. STS-129 is targeted to launch Nov. 12. Photo credit: NASA/Tim Jacobs KSC-2009-2238
