{description}   Space Shuttle Endeavour and the Mobile Launcher Platform (MLP)
                start backing through the gate to Launch Pad 39B after a cracked
                cleat was discovered on the crawler-transporter. Workers near the
                pad (behind the crawler track) look at the cleats. The vehicle,
                which moves the MLP and Shuttle at about 1 mph, has a leveling
                system designed to keep the top of the Space Shuttle vertical
                while negotiating the 5 percent grade leading to the top of the
                pad. When the Shuttle-MLP are back on level ground, the crawler
                tracks will be inspected and the broken cleat 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.
