Boeing/ULA Egress Demonstration

Chris Ferguson, Boeing’s Director of Crew and Mission Operations for their Commercial Crew Program, is helped into his suit in preparation for a Boeing/United Launch Alliance emergency egress system demonstration on June 19, 2018. A veteran of three space shuttle missions, he commanded Atlantis in STS-135, the final mission of the Space Shuttle Program. The demonstration was held at Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. The emergency egress system provides an escape route in the unlikely event of an emergency on the launch pad on launch day.
