CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Media in the foreground captures images and comments from the STS-128 crew members near Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Commander Rick Sturckow, with the microphone, introduces the rest of the crew, from left, Pilot Kevin Ford and Mission Specialists Patrick Forrester, Jose Hernandez, John "Danny" Olivas, Christer Fuglesang and Nicole Stott. Fuglesang represents the European Space Agency. The crew is at Kennedy for a launch dress rehearsal called the terminal countdown demonstration test, or TCDT, which includes emergency exit training and equipment familiarization, as well as a simulated launch countdown. Discovery will deliver 33,000 pounds of equipment to the station, including science and storage racks, a freezer to store research samples, a new sleeping compartment and the COLBERT treadmill.
