On Friday the Atlantis crew did a dress rehearsal on the launch pad. They were performing emergency escape drills in full dress.
The full launch dress rehearsal known as the terminal countdown demonstration test wrapped up Friday at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Fla.
The prelaunch training ran the STS-117 mission astronauts through their paces as they practiced emergency evacuation procedures at the launch pad, checked out their flight gear, drove M-113 personnel carriers and attended safety and range briefings.
The launch is planned for March 15 to the ISS to install more solar arrays and trusses.
