Title
First Six Women Astronauts with "Rescue Ball"
Full Description
NASAs first six women astronauts pose with a mockup of a
personal rescue enclosure (PRE) or "rescue ball" in the crew
systems laboratory at the Johnson Space Center. The PRE was
created as a possible means of transporting astronauts from one
Shuttle to another in case of an emergency. The PRE only reached
the prototype stage and never flew on any missions. The group
includes mission specialists, from left to right, Margaret R.
(Rhea) Seddon, Kathryn D. Sullivan, Judith A. Resnick, Sally K.
Ride, Anna L. Fisher, and Shannon W. Lucid.
