CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – After their arrival at the Shuttle landing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the STS-119 crew members take part in a question-and-answer session with the media. Mission Specialist Koichi Wakata (far right) responds in Japan to a Japan reporter. The other crew members, starting at left, are Commander Lee Archambault, Pilot Tony Antonelli, and Mission Specialists Joseph Acaba, Steve Swanson, Richard Arnold and John Phillips. Wakata represents the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency and will fly on the mission to the International Space Station to remain behind as a member of the Expedition 18 crew. The STS-119 crew flew to Kennedy to take part in terminal countdown demonstration test activities, which include equipment familiarization and emergency exit training and culminate in a simulated launch countdown.
