Endeavour orbiter set for vehicle assembly

On 11 February NASA's Orbiter Vehicle (OV)-105 Endeavour was rolled from its Orbiter Processing Facility at Kennedy Space Center into the Vehicle Assembly Building for mating with the vehicle's external propellant tank and two solid rocket boosters.

This is in preparation for its 11 March mission STS-123 that will deliver the first part of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's Kibo laboratory to the International Space Station.
