KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - Atop its transporter, orbiter Endeavour rolls back onto the tow-way for transfer to the Vehicle Assembly Building and continued launch preparations. Endeavour is scheduled to launch Nov. 10 on mission STS-113, the 16th assembly flight to the International Space Station. The primary payloads on mission STS-113 are the first port truss segment, P1 Truss and the Crew and Equipment Translation Aid (CETA) Cart B. Once delivered, the P1 truss will remain stowed until flight 12A.1 in 2003 when it will be attached to the central truss segment, S0, on the Space Station. The CETA Cart B can be used by spacewalkers to move along the truss with equipment The mission will also deliver the Expedition 6 crew to the Station and return Expedition 5 to Earth. KSC-02pd1400
