KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - The STS-115 crew responds to questions from the media at a press conference held on Launch Pad 39B. Seen left to right are Commander Brent Jett, Mission Specialist Steven MacLean, Pilot Chris Ferguson, and Mission Specialist Daniel Burbank. Crew members not seen are Mission Specialists Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper and Joseph Tanner. MacLean is with the Canadian Space Agency. The mission crew is at KSC for Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test activities that are preparation for launch on Space Shuttle Atlantis, scheduled to take place in a window that opens Aug. 27. The TCDT culminates in a simulated launch countdown. 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.

At Launch Pad 39A, STS-99 Mission Specialists Gerhard Thiele (Ph.D.), of the European Space Agency (in front), and Janet Kavandi (Ph.D.) prepare to practice emergency egress procedures with a slidewire basket. Seven slidewires, with flatbottom baskets suspended from each wire, extend from the Fixed Service Structure at the orbiter access arm level. These baskets could provide an escape route for the astronauts until the final 30 seconds of the countdown in case of an emergency. The crew is taking part in Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test (TCDT) activities that provide the crew with simulated countdown exercises, emergency egress training, and opportunities to inspect the mission payloads in the orbiter's payload bay. STS-99 is the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission, which will chart a new course, using two antennae and a 200-foot-long section of space station-derived mast protruding from the payload bay to produce unrivaled 3-D images of the Earth's surface. The result of the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission could be close to 1 trillion measurements of the Earth's topography. Besides contributing to the production of better maps, these measurements could lead to improved water drainage modeling, more realistic flight simulators, better locations for cell phone towers, and enhanced navigation safety. Launch of Endeavour on the 11-day mission is scheduled for Jan. 31 at 12:47 p.m. EST KSC-00pp0073

На космодроме Байконур в Казахстане в субботу, 18 октября 2003 года, перед вылетом на старт основной и дублирующий экипажи 8-й экспедиции на Международную космическую станцию, а также основной и дублирующий астронавты Европейского космического агентства получают последние добрые пожелания от российских и американских космических чиновников. Командир 8-й экспедиции и научный сотрудник НАСА Майкл Фоул, командир 8-й экспедиции Александр Калери и испанец Педро Дуке были запущены на корабле "Союз ТМА-3", прибывшем на МКС 20 октября.
