Here is the first of four emergency egress baskets on the mobile launcher at Launch Complex 39B at KSC being tested in Jan 2026. 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 away from the mobile launcher to the base of the pad and where waiting emergency transport vehicles would then drive them away. #artemisii #nasa #boneyardsafari #aviationsafari
