In the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, the bottom of the external tank for space shuttle Atlantis is seen as it is lifted out of the checkout cell. The tank will be moved to high bay 3 and lowered toward the solid rocket boosters for mating. The tank and boosters will be secured on the mobile launcher platform below. Atlantis' STS-125 mission is the fifth and final shuttle servicing mission to NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. Launch is targeted for Oct. 8.
