CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- In the Multi-Payload Processing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, NASA astronauts Shane Kimbrough, left, Marsha Ivins and Randy Bresnik take a break from an exercise known as crew egress evaluation from an Orion mock-up. Behind them are Rene Arriens, left, and Tim Seymour, closeout crew members participating in the exercise. The spacecraft is replicated in all areas that could affect a crew's escape, including the area that seals to a launch pad's White Room. The exercise focuses on whether astronauts and their rescue crews can exit the vehicle quickly in the event of a pad emergency. For more information on Orion, visit www.nasa.gov/orion.
