Members of NASA Kennedy Space Center's Final Inspection Team, known as the "Ice Team", performs a "walkdown" of Kennedy's Launch Pad 39A during shuttle Atlantis' STS-132 launch countdown on May 14. The six-member team walks on every level of the pad's fixed service structure inspecting the shuttle, external fuel tank, solid rocket booster, pad structure and ground equipment for signs of ice buildup, debris or anything else that might be amiss prior to launch. As part of the inspection, photos are taken and transmitted to the launch team for review.
