KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -    In the payload changeout room on Launch Pad 39B, STS-115 crew members look over the mission payload one more time before launch. From left are mission specialists Joseph Tanner and Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper. The mission crew has been at KSC to take part in Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test activities, which include emergency egress training, a simulated launch countdown and the payload familiarization. The TCDT is a prelaunch preparation for the mission that is scheduled to lift off in a window opening Aug. 27. During their 11-day mission to the International Space Station, the STS-115 crew will continue construction of the station and attach the payload elements, the Port 3/4 truss segment with its two large solar arrays.

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -   Seen in the foreground is STS-121 Michael Fossum, who is looking at the integrated cargo carrier, part of the payload for the mission, temporarily stored in the payload changeout room on Launch Pad 39B.  He is dressed in a clean room suit, appropriate for the environmentally clean or "white room" condition in which the payload resides before being transferred to the shuttle's payload bay.  In front of and below him is the multi-purpose logistics module Leonardo, which is carrying supplies and equipment for the International Space Station. The payload also includes the lightweight multi-purpose experiment support structure carrier. Crew members are at NASA's Kennedy Space Center for Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test activities, which include equipment familiarization and a simulated launch countdown.
