Media Event at CCP White Room/Crew Access Arm

NASA, Boeing and United Launch Alliance officials discuss the Crew Access Arm under construction at a yard near NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The arm and white room are being built to bridge the space between the Crew Access Tower and the hatch to Boeing's CST-100 Starliner spacecraft as it stands atop a ULA Atlas V rocket at Space Launch Complex 41 before flight. Partnering with NASA's Commercial Crew Program, Boeing is one of two companies building a new, privately owned and operated space system to carry astronauts to the International Space Station. The speakers are, from left, Lisa Loucks, Launch Site Integration lead for Boeing; Steve Hirst, Launch Operations Group for ULA; Chris Ferguson, former astronaut and deputy program manager of Boeing's Crew and Mission Operations, Gary Wentz, vice president of Human Launch Services for ULA, and Mike Ravenscroft, Launch Site Integration manager for NASA's Commercial Crew Program.
