  Title: STS-56 Pilot Oswald, in LES/LEH, uses sky genie during JSC egress training
  Description:
  STS-56 Discovery, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 103, Pilot Stephen S. Oswald,
  wearing  launch and entry suit (LES) and launch and entry helmet (LEH),
  simulates an  emergency egress procedure at JSC's Mockup and Integration
  Laboratory (MAIL)  Bldg 9NE. Having exited the crew compartment trainer
  (CCT), a shuttle mockup,  through an overhead aft flight deck window,
  Oswald lowers himself to the  ground using the sky-genie.  Training
  instructor Kenneth D. Trujillo assumes  the role of a crewmate assisting
  from a position on the ground. The sky-genie  is carried on all Space
  Shuttle flights for emergency egress purposes.
