CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - At the 195-foot level of the fixed service structure on Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, STS-126 crew members look at the slidewire basket used for emergency exit from the pad. Seen from left are Pilot Eric Boe, a safety instructor, Commander Chris Ferguson, and Mission Specialists Steve Bowen, Sandra Magnus and Donald Pettit. The crew is at Kennedy to take part in the Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test, which includes equipment familiarization, emergency exit training 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 stations Solar Alpha Rotary Joints. Endeavour is targeted to launch Nov. 14.
