Looking on are Mission Specialists Andrew Thomas, Stephen Robinson and Soichi Noguchi, who is with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency.. The crew is at KSC for Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test (TCDT) activities. The TCDT is held at KSC prior to each Space Shuttle flight. It provides the crew of each mission an opportunity to participate in simulated countdown activities. The test ends with a mock launch countdown culminating in a simulated main engine cutoff.
