Your Reply: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	[QUOTE]Originally posted by Robert Pearlman: [B]NASA release <blockquote><font size="+0">[b]Closeout crew en route to White Room[/b]</font> NASA's Artemis II closeout crew is en route to the White Room inside the crew access arm at Launch Pad 39B. This specialized team is responsible for securing the Orion spacecraft and ensuring all access points are properly configured before simulated crew ingress operations. The White Room is the environmentally controlled area at the end of the crew access arm, providing a clean and safe space for astronauts to enter Orion on launch day. During the wet dress rehearsal, the closeout crew will close the spacecraft's hatches, verify hatch seals, check environmental conditions, and confirm all systems are ready for the next steps in the countdown. In addition, the pad rescue team will be positioned to respond immediately in the unlikely event of an emergency, ensuring safe evacuation procedures for pad personnel. Their presence ensures that all operations meet stringent safety standards as the SLS (Space Launch System) rocket and Orion spacecraft move closer to flight readiness. These teams are essential for mitigating risk and supporting the complex choreography of Artemis II's prelaunch activities.</blockquote> [/B][/QUOTE]
