NASA'S SHUTTLE ENDEAVOUR MOVES FROM PROCESSING HANGAR TO VAB

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Media are invited to cover space shuttle 
Endeavour's final planned move from its processing hangar to the 
Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) on Monday, Feb. 28, at NASA's Kennedy 
Space Center, Fla.

The first motion of the shuttle on its rollover to the VAB is 
scheduled for 7 a.m. EST. Once inside the VAB, Endeavour will be 
attached to its external fuel tank and twin solid rocket boosters 
already on the mobile launcher platform. Media must arrive at 
Kennedy's News Center by 6 a.m. Monday for transportation to the 
viewing area.

STS-133 media credentials are valid for this photo opportunity. New 
media accreditation is closed. Any updates for this event will be 
available at 321-867-2525.

Highlights of the move will air on the NASA TV Video File. For NASA TV

The STS-134 mission will deliver the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, a 
particle physics detector designed to search for various types of 
unusual matter by measuring cosmic rays. The STS-134 crew also will 
deliver the Express Logistics Carrier 3, a platform that carries 
spare parts that will sustain station operations once the shuttles 
are retired later this year.
