Title: Astronaut Joseph Tanner is assisted into his EMU during training
Description:
Astronaut Joseph R. Tanner, STS-66 mission specialist, is assisted by
Boeing suit expert Steve Voyles in donning the gloves for his
extravehicular mobility unit (EMU) as he prepares to be submerged in a
25-feet deep pool at JSC's Weightless Environment Training Facility (WETF).
Though no extravehicular activity (EVA) is planned for the mission, at
least two astronauts are trained to perform tasks that would require a
space walk in the event of failure of remote systems.
