Title: Astronaut Joseph Tanner is prepares to be submerged in the WETF
Description:
Attired in a training version of the extravehicular mobility unit (EMU),
Astronaut Joseph R. Tanner, STS-66 mission specialist, 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.
