George Diller/STS-132 Launch Commentator: This is Shuttle Launch Control at T-3 hours and holding.
We're entering the suit-up room now at the astronaut quarters in the Operations and Checkout Building.
Here's our Commander Ken Ham, who has spent 13 days in space aboard Discovery on 124.
Here's our Pilot Tony Antonelli, this is his second trip into space, having flown as a pilot on 119 aboard Discovery,
which delivered a space station integrated truss segment and a pair of solar-generating wings.
Going over now to Garrett Reisman, MS1 aboard Atlantis on STS-132. He'll be performing spacewalks 1 and 3.
He holds a PhD in mechanical engineering and spent three months in space aboard the International Space Station.
And here is Steve Bowen, he's the first-ever submarine officer selected by NASA to be an astronaut.
He's Mission Specialist 3 and will be doing two spacewalks, EVAs 1 and 2.
This is his second spaceflight, having flown previously on Endeavour.
Piers Sellers, this is his third spaceflight, having flown STS-112 on Atlantis and 121 aboard Discovery.
He's logged 41 EVA hours in six spacewalks. And Michael Good, making his second trip into space,
having served as Mission Specialist 2 on this mission. He'll be doing spacewalks on EVAs 2 and 3.
And here comes our STS-132 Atlantis crew, leaving the suit-up room, headed now for the elevator.
And a bunch of the astronaut support personnel in the O&C giving them a goodbye as they leave.
(Cheers)
George Diller/STS-132 Launch Commentator: And here they come. Kennedy Space Center employees are
always invited to wish the crew well as they leave for the launch pad.
And they'll be escorted out to the pad by a NASA security van, as is customary, behind them. And there they go.
