[b]Crew members climb aboard Endeavour[/b] Crew-2 astronauts Shane Kimbrough, Megan McArthur, Thomas Pesquet and Aki Hoshide arrived at Launch Complex 39A and took the elevator up to the 255-foot level of the fixed service structure. They then took a short flight of stairs to the crew access level, where they crossed the crew access arm – the walkway from the fixed service structure over to the White Room and their waiting SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft, "Endeavour." Commander Kimbrough entered the Dragon first and took Seat 3, followed by pilot McArthur in Seat 2. Mission specialist Pesquet then ingressed and was seated to McArthur's right in Seat 1, followed by Hoshide, also a mission specialist, in Seat 4 to Kimbrough's left. McArthur is sitting in the same seat, on board the same spacecraft, as her husband, Bob Behnken, sat for SpaceX's Demo-2 mission in 2020. As the astronauts boarded, their seats were configured in the upright position; later, prior to closure of the spacecraft's side hatch, the seats will be rotated into a reclined position for flight.
