The STS-119 crew flew to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida to take part in terminal countdown demonstration test activities, which include equipment familiarization and emergency exit training and culminate in a simulated launch countdown. After their arrival at the Shuttle Landing Facility, the astronauts took part in a question-and-answer session with the media. Mission Specialist Koichi Wakata (far right) responds to a Japanese reporter. Wakata represents the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency and will remain on the International Space Station as a member of the Expedition 18 crew. Image credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett Jan. 19, 2009
