KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - Pilot Robert Crippen watches intently as a technician adjusts the lens of his space suit, while Crew Commander John Young's suit is connected to life support system lines, during simulated countdown and launch. The two astronauts, prime crewmen for the maiden flight of the Space Shuttle scheduled no sooner than the week of April 5, are pictured in the suiting room of the Operations and Checkout Building at KSC prior to boarding their transport van for the trip to Launch Pad 39A.
