CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – At the Turn Basin in the Launch Complex 39 area at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, tugboats on either end of the Pegasus Barge begin to maneuver it away from the dock. The 266-foot-long and 50-foot-wide barge will be towed by NASA's Freedom Star ship to deliver space shuttle main engine (SSME) ground support equipment to Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Miss. Since being delivered to NASA in 1999, Pegasus sailed 41 times and transported 31 shuttle external fuel tanks from Michoud Assembly Facility near New Orleans to Kennedy. The barge will leave Kennedy, perhaps for the final time. Both the barge and shuttle equipment will remain in storage until their specific future uses are determined. The SSMEs themselves will be transported to Stennis separately for use with the agency’s new heavy-lift rocket, the Space Launch System. The work is part of the Space Shuttle Program’s transition and retirement processing.

STS-134 ET-138 ARRIVAL THRU PORT CANAVERAL 2010-4047

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Tugboats maneuver NASA's Pegasus barge next to the Turn Basin dock at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The barge contains the external fuel tank, designated ET-133, that will be used for space shuttle Atlantis' STS-129 mission. The tank will be offloaded and moved into a high bay in the Vehicle Assembly Building for checkout. The tank was shipped aboard the Pegasus from NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility near New Orleans. Pegasus was towed to Port Canaveral by the Freedom Star Retrieval Ship. Launch of Atlantis is targeted for November. Photo credit: NASA/Tim Jacobs KSC-2009-4426

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – The Delta Mariner is docked at Port Canaveral, Fla., with its cargo of the Ares I-X upper stage simulator segments. The cranes near the ship will be used to remove the segments and place them on a flatbed truck for transportation to the Vehicle Assembly Building's high bay 4 at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The upper stage simulator will be used in the test flight identified as Ares I-X in 2009. The segments will simulate the mass and the outer mold line and will be more than 100 feet of the total vehicle height of 327 feet. The simulator comprises 11 segments that are approximately 18 feet in diameter. Most of the segments will be approximately 10 feet high, ranging in weight from 18,000 to 60,000 pounds, for a total of approximately 450,000 pounds.

MIDDLE EAST (Oct. 13, 2003)--Workers begin scraping marine growth from the hull of the Coast Guard Cutter Aquidneck, one of four 110-foot patrol boats deployed to the Arabian Gulf in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, after it is pulled from the water by means of a marine railway, Oct. 13, 2003. The Aquidneck is the first Coast Guard cutter to be dry-docked in the Middle East and the first cutter to be dry-docked at a foreign port for non-emergency purposes.USCG photo by PA2 Kyle Niemi
