The truck carrying the EXPRESS logistics carrier for the STS-129 mission pulls away from the C-17 cargo plane that delivered it to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The carrier is part of the payload on space shuttle Atlantis, which will deliver to the International Space Station two spare gyroscopes, two nitrogen tank assemblies, two pump modules, an ammonia tank assembly and a spare latching end effector for the station's robotic arm.
