Working At The Pad



So this past week I've been working out at the pad. We've been connecting our hardware to the shuttle, and my job has been supervising all the KSC techs...suuuuuuuper boring however, the nice thing is I can take a bunch of stupid pictures of me in the cargo bay!


The room we're in is called PCR (Payload Changeout Room). there's a big wall of stairs,(above) and plaforms that can move forward and away from the shuttle. Its called the PGHM has a bunch of hooks that grabs all our hardware from the 'can' and then sticks it in the shuttle bay.

Here's me in front of the shuttle airlock.
