Title
Robert Springer dons EMU for training
Full Description
STS-38 Mission Specialist Robert C. Springer dons extravehicular mobility
unit (EMU) upper torso with technicians' assistance in JSC's
Weightless Environment Training Facility (WETF) Bldg 29. Springer is
preparing for an underwater extravehicular activity (EVA) simulation in the
neutral buoyancy tank. Springer and his fellow astronauts would launch
aboard Atlantis on November 15, 1990. This photo demonstrates the two-part
suit consisting of an upper and lower half that is worn during shuttle EVAs.
The entire suit, including parts not pictured here, weighs 275 pounds, so it is
necessary to have help while putting it on in Earth's gravity.
