Astronaut training takes years before an individual is selected for a particular mission.
Astronauts prepare for that launch day with a series of medical tests to ensure they are healthy for the launch and are expected to stay healthy through the mission. They then begin to acclimate themselves to a new time schedule based on launch time. They spend the final day or two at the Kennedy Space Center in simple crew quarters and have a meal together before suiting up several hours before launch.

Where do astronauts launch there space shuttles from?
Astronauts launch their space shuttles from various locations, including Kennedy Space Center in Florida, Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, and Guiana Space Centre in French Guiana. Each space agency has its own designated launch site for launching space shuttles.
What do astronauts do before takeoff?
On launch day, astronauts usually wake up four hours before launch. They enjoy a pre-launch breakfast, then get suited up in their orange Advanced Crew Escape Suit (ACES) space suits. After they are suited up and ready to go, the astronauts walk out from the Operations at Checkout Building at the Kennedy Space Center and climb into the Astrovan, which takes them to the launch pad. At the pad, the astronauts ride an elevator to the 195-foot level, where the close-out crew helps each astronaut board and strap into the shuttle. After that, the astronauts wait about two and a half hours until launch.
