Bob and Doug Ready to Go

Recently, NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley practiced some prelaunch operations to get ready for their first flight to the International Space Station (ISS) aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft.

They had a chance to try out procedures they'll use before a real launch. NASA said:

"The astronauts performed suit-up procedures alongside the SpaceX ground closeout team and suit engineers using the same ground support equipment, such as the seats and suit leak check boxes, that will be used on launch day. Following crew suit-up, the teams performed a simulated launch countdown with the astronauts inside a Crew Dragon simulator and performed several emergency egress, or exit, scenarios."
