  Title: STS-61 crewmembers in the WETF rehearsing for HST repair mission
  Description:
  Wearing a training version of Space Shuttle Extravehicular Mobility Unit
  (EMU), Astronaut Kathryn C. Thornton uses the giant pool of JSC's
  Weightless Environment Training Facility (WETF) to rehearse for the Hubble
  Space Telescope (HST) repair mission. Standing on a mobile foot restraint
  connected to the Shuttle's robot arm, Thornton grasps a large structure
  which attaches to the Wide Field/Planetary Camera (WF/PC). A SCUBA-equipped
  diver can be seen in the background (33101); Astronaut Thomas D. Akers uses
  the giant pool of JSC's WETF to rehearse for the HST repair mission.
  Standing on a mobile foot restraint connected to the Shuttle's robot arm,
  Akers works with a full-scale training version of the WF/PC. Several
  SCUBA-equipped divers assist in the rehearsal (33102); Astronauts F. Story
  Musgrave and Jeffrey A. Hoffman, in training versions of the EMU, use the
  WETF to rehearse for the HST repair mission. The two are working with a
  full-scale training version of the Wide Field/Planetary Camera (WF/PC)
  (33103); Astronaut Jeffrey A. Hoffman, wearing a training version of the
  Shuttle EMU, uses the WETF pool to rehearse for the HST repair mission
  (33104).
