External Tank 138 (ET-138), the Space Shuttle's last flight tank, was given a New Orleans style send-off with a ceremony at the NASA Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans, Louisiana on Thursday, July 8, 2010. The ceremony was presented by NASA and Lockheed Martin, who have been building ETs at the facility for 37 years. During the rollout, the tank was accompanied by the Storyville Stompers, a New Orleans jazz band, and a "second line" of Michoud employees and special guests.
