In preparation for NASA’s Artemis II crewed mission , teams at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida practice getting out of the emergency escape , or egress, basket on Aug. 9, 2024. The baskets, similar to gondolas on ski lifts, are used in the case of a pad abort emergency to enable astronauts and other pad personnel a way to quickly escape from the mobile launcher to the base of the pad and where waiting emergency transport vehicles will then drive them away.
