  Title: STS-56 MS3 Ochoa, in LES/LEH, uses sky genie during JSC egress training
  Description:
  STS-56 Discovery, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 103, Mission Specialist 3 (MS3)
  Ellen  Ochoa, wearing launch and entry suit (LES) and launch and entry
  helmet (LEH),  simulates a 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, Ochoa lowers  herself 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.
