CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – The suited STS-128 crew members head for the Astrovan to take them to NASA Kennedy Space Center's Launch Pad 39A and a simulated launch countdown. From left, in front, are Mission Specialists Nicole Stott and Jose Hernandez and Pilot Kevin Ford. In back are Mission Specialists Danny Olivas, Christer Fuglesang and Patrick Forrester and Commander Rick Sturckow. The countdown is the culmination of terminal countdown demonstration test activities to prepare the STS-128 crew for launch on space shuttle Discovery's STS-128 mission. Discovery will deliver 33,000 pounds of equipment to the station, including science and storage racks, a freezer to store research samples, a new sleeping compartment and the COLBERT treadmill. Launch is targeted for late August. Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett
