ISVV-1 Artemis Emergency Egress Demonstration

Medical, fire-rescue personnel, and simulated flight crew members participate in the Artemis II mission emergency escape or egress verification and validation tests near Launch Complex 39 at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Monday, Aug. 12, 2024. During the multi-day tests, members of the closeout crew, pad rescue team, and the Exploration Ground Systems Program practiced the process of getting in and out of the emergency egress baskets then down to the launch pad where they would be transported to emergency transport vehicles and driven to safety. Prior to this test and throughout the course of several months, teams conducted basket release demonstrations to validate the system.
