    • Description: This closeup shows the crawler-transporter's broken cleat (center left, with a yellow ribbon around it) that caused the backward trek of Space Shuttle Endeavour from Launch Pad 39B. The Shuttle retreated to level ground so the broken cleat could be repaired. Endeavour is scheduled to be launched Nov. 30 at 10:01 p.m. EST on mission STS-97, the sixth construction flight to the International Space Station. Its payload includes the P6 Integrated Truss Structure and a photovoltaic (PV) module, with giant solar arrays that will provide power to the Station. The mission includes two spacewalks to complete the solar array connections.
