CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -   On Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, STS-126 Mission Specialist Sandra Magnus (with microphone) answers a question from the media.  The other crew members with her are (from left) Commander Chris Ferguson, Pilot Eric Boe and Mission Specialists Steve Bowen, Shane Kimbrough, Donald Pettit and Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper. The crew is at Kennedy to take part in the Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test, which includes equipment familiarization, emergency exit procedures and a simulated launch countdown.  On the STS-126 mission, space shuttle Endeavour's crew will deliver equipment and supplies to the International Space Station in preparation for expansion from a three- to six-person resident crew aboard the complex. The mission also will include four spacewalks to service the station’s Solar Alpha Rotary Joints. Endeavour is targeted to launch Nov. 14.  Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett KSC-08pd3400

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -   At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the STS-126 crew members listen to instructions about use of the M-113 armored personnel carrier for emergency escape from Launch Pad 39A. From left are Mission Specialist Donald Pettit, Commander Chris Ferguson, Pilot Eric Boe and Mission Specialists Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper, Steve Bowen, Sandra Magnus and Shane Kimbrough.  The crew is at Kennedy for pre-launch preparation known as Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test, or TCDT. The training provides astronauts and ground crews with an opportunity to participate in various simulated countdown activities, including equipment familiarization and a simulated launch countdown.  On the STS-126 mission, space shuttle Endeavour's crew will deliver equipment and supplies to the International Space Station in preparation for expansion from a three- to six-person resident crew aboard the complex. The mission also will include four spacewalks to service the station’s Solar Alpha Rotary Joints. Endeavour is targeted to launch Nov. 14.  Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett KSC-08pd3370

From left are Mission Specialists Sandra Magnus, Shane Kimbrough, Steve Bowen, Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper and Donald Pettit; Commander Chris Ferguson; and Pilot Eric Boe.  The crew is at Kennedy for pre-launch preparation known as Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test, or TCDT.  The training provides astronauts and ground crews with an opportunity to participate in various simulated countdown activities, including equipment familiarization and a simulated launch countdown.  On the STS-126 mission, space shuttle Endeavour's crew will deliver equipment and supplies to the International Space Station in preparation for expansion from a three- to six-person resident crew aboard the complex. The mission also will include four spacewalks to service the station’s Solar Alpha Rotary Joints. Endeavour is targeted to launch Nov. 14.  Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett KSC-08pd3387
