Summary

[edit]
Description
English: At Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the members of space shuttle Atlantis' STS-132 crew take time out from their training to pose for a group portrait in the pad's White Room. Standing, from left, are Mission Specialists Piers Sellers and Michael Good, and Commander Ken Ham. Kneeling, from left, are Pilot Tony Antonelli, and Mission Specialists Steve Bowen and Garrett Reisman. Behind them is the hatch which provides access to Atlantis' crew compartment. The crew is participating in training in preparation for their Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test, or TCDT, a dress rehearsal for launch. TCDT provides each shuttle crew and launch team the opportunity to participate in various simulated countdown activities, including equipment familiarization and emergency procedures. On the STS-132 mission, the six-member crew will deliver an Integrated Cargo Carrier, or ICC, and the Russian-built Mini-Research Module-1, or MRM-1, to the International Space Station aboard space shuttle Atlantis. The ICC is an unpressurized flat bed pallet and keel yoke assembly used to support the transfer of exterior cargo from the shuttle to the space station. The MRM-1, known as Rassvet, is the second in a series of new pressurized components for Russia and will be permanently attached to the Earth-facing port of the Zarya control module. Rassvet, which translates to "dawn," will be used for cargo storage and will provide an additional docking port to the station. STS-132 is the 34th mission to the station and the 132nd shuttle mission overall.
