All Aboard! Astronauts Climb into Dragon Endeavour
The Crew-8 crew members now are boarding SpaceX?s Dragon Endeavour spacecraft.
Before entering their spacecraft, all four crewmates signed the inside of the White Room, an area at the end of the crew access arm that provides access to the spacecraft. The term "White Room" dates to the Gemini program. To honor tradition, the room is still painted white today.
As the crew enters Dragon, their seats are configured in an upright position. Once the crew is securely inside, the seats will be rotated into a reclined position for launch, just before teams close Dragon?s side hatch, coming up near the end of the hour.
