Title: STS-54 MS Susan J. Helms prepares for EVA simulation at JSC's WETF Bldg 29

Description:

STS-54 Endeavour, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 105, Mission Specialist 3 (MS3)
Susan  J. Helms, wearing liquid cooling and ventilation garment (LCVG) and 
extravehicular mobility unit (EMU) lower torso, prepares to don EMU upper 
torso with some assistance from technicians.  Once fully suited in the 
EMU, Helms will participate in an underwater extravehicular activity (EVA) 
simulation in JSC's Weightless Environment Training Facility (WETF) Bldg
29.   Though not assigned to the scheduled EVA, Helms, for backup and
contingency  purposes, is trained in the WETF.  Nearby, divers await her
entry into the  water via the platform (visible behind Helms).   The EMU is
weighted so as to  allow Helms to achieve neutral buoyancy and simulate the
various chores of  the spacewalk.
