STS-135 Crew Undergoes Emergency Exit Training

The four-member crew of the final space shuttle flight practiced driving an M113 armored personnel carrier on June 21 during training associated with the full launch dress rehearsal known as the Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test. The training takes place at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.‪Each astronaut of shuttle Atlantis' STS-135 mission practiced driving the armored personnel carrier as part of their emergency escape procedure training. An M113 will be available to transport crew members to safety in the event of a contingency on the launch pad before liftoff. Atlantis' crew members are Commander Chris Ferguson, Pilot Doug Hurley, and Mission Specialists Sandy Magnus and Rex Walheim. During the 12-day STS-135 mission, Atlantis' astronauts will deliver to the International Space Station the Raffaello multi-purpose logistics module filled with supplies, logistics and spare parts that will sustain station operations once the shuttles are retired this summer. Atlantis' launch is targeted for July 8. This will be the final flight of the Space Shuttle Program.
