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 closes Orion hatch[/b]</font> As part of the Artemis II wet dress rehearsal, NASA teams have closed the Orion crew module hatch inside the White Room at Launch Pad 39B. This step simulates launch day procedures, ensuring the spacecraft is sealed and ready for launch. The Artemis II astronauts are not participating in today's rehearsal, but the close out crew simulated strapping them into their seats. The closeout crew inspects and cleans the hatch seals to maintain airtight integrity, verifies environmental controls inside the crew module, and confirms all mechanical and electrical connections are secure before closure. Closing the hatch is a critical milestone that demonstrates Orion's readiness for flight and validates procedures for the first crewed Artemis mission around the Moon. The closeout crew will next close the launch abort system hatch.</blockquote> [/B][/QUOTE]
