Picture: Endeavour makes pad move ahead of ISS launch

Space shuttle Endeavour was moved from Launch Pad 39B to Pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center this week in preparation for the STS-126 mission to the International Space Station, which is to lift off on 14 November. Endeavour was moved between pads so workers there could continue modifications to the complex for the Ares I-X test flight in 2009. The Shuttle's payload was also delivered to Pad A last week.
