S96-08025 (22 April 1996) --- The STS-77 crew arrives at the Kennedy Space Center's (KSC) Shuttle Landing Facility (SLF) for the Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test (TCDT), a dress rehearsal for launch. Shown here is Curtis L. Brown, Jr., pilot, who will be embarking on his third spaceflight when the Space Shuttle Endeavour lifts off on the STS-77 mission in mid-May. Over the next several days, the six-member crew will participate in emergency egress training at the pad and a simulated launch countdown that includes the entire launch team.

During Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test (TCDT) activities, STS-99 Commander Kevin Kregel is ready to practice driving the M-113, an armored personnel carrier. Part of Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test (TCDT) activities, the M-113 could be used by the crew in the event of an emergency at the pad during which the crew must make a quick exit from the area. TCDT provides the crew with simulated countdown exercises, emergency egress training, and opportunities to inspect the mission payloads in the orbiter's payload bay. STS-99 is the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission, which will chart a new course, using two antennae and a 200-foot-long section of space station-derived mast protruding from the payload bay to produce unrivaled 3-D images of the Earth's surface. The result of the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission could be close to 1 trillion measurements of the Earth's topography. Besides contributing to the production of better maps, these measurements could lead to improved water dr
