Shuttle Atlantis' Hubble Mission Crew Participate in M-113 Training (2008)

Synopsis

The seven-member crew of the next shuttle mission practice driving the M-113 armored personnel carrier during a full launch dress rehearsal, known as the terminal countdown demonstration test, or TCDT, at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, Fla., Sept. 22. The crew members of space shuttle Atlantis' STS-125 mission each practice driving the M-113 in turn as part of their training on emergency egress procedures. An M-113 will be available to transport the crew to safety in the event of a contingency on the pad before their launch. TCDT provides astronauts and ground crews with an opportunity to participate in various simulated countdown activities including equipment familiarization and emergency training.
