On Launch Pad 39A, astronaut-suited workers take part in an emergency egress scenario. The four-hour exercise simulated normal launch countdown operations, with the added challenge of a fictitious event causing an evacuation of the vehicle and launch pad. It tested the teams rescue approaches on the Fixed Service Structure, slidewire basket evacuation, triage care and transportation of injured personnel to hospitals, as well as communications and coordination. {highres} 3008 x 2000 {highsize} 511646 {hightype} JPEG {keywords} NASA,KSC,Kennedy Space Center {lowres} 320 x 212 {lowsize} 77727 {lowtype} GIF {mediumres} 1024 x 680 {mediumsize} 67134 {mediumtype} JPEG {number} KSC-04PD-2440 {slideres} 120 x 108 {slidesize} 15500 {slidetype} GIF {tinyres} 100 x 66 {tinysize} 8288 {tinytype} GIF {title} KSC-04PD-2440 {type} Image {end}
