Because the Space Shuttle is facing upright on the launch pad, entering can be a challenging task--especially in the bulky Ascent and Entry space suits. Because of this, a group of technicians referred to as the closeout crew helps the astronauts board the shuttle.
Astronauts and members of the closeout crew ride an elevator to the 195 ft level of the launchpad where they can access the hatch through a retractable arm that contains the White Room, which is a small environmentally-controlled chamber set adjacent to the hatch. Due to the white room's small size, only two astronauts can enter at a time. Inside the white room, technicians open the hatch and set removable boards over important space shuttle instrument panels (to prevent damage to vital switches and controls while the crew is climbing on board). The closeout crew then helps the crew put on their parachute packs, climb aboard, and strap in. Once all members of the crew are strapped in, the closeout crew ensures that everything is in order, removes the temporary boards from the instrument panels, and seals the hatch. A few minutes before liftoff, the arm containing the white room is retracted away from the space shuttle.
