Wearing white caps are Commander Ken Cockrell (center) and Mission Specialist Marsha Ivins (right). The crew is at KSC for Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test activities, which include a simulated launch countdown. Destiny, a key element in the construction of the International Space Station, is a pressurized module designed to accommodate pressurized payloads. It has a capacity of 24 rack locations. Payload racks will occupy 13 locations especially designed to support experiments. The module already has five system racks installed inside.
