Endeavour leaves hanger and moves to VAB

Shortly after sunrise, space shuttle Endeavour left its hangar for the short trip to Kennedy Space Center's Vehicle Assembly Building where the spaceplane will be attached to its external fuel tank and solid rocket boosters.

Endeavour is being prepared for its role as a standby rescue craft during next month's Hubble Space Telescope servicing mission and the scheduled November logistics run to the international space station.
