STS-47 Endeavour, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 105, backup Payload Specialist Chiaki Mukai participates in a special survival training course hosted by Homestead Air Force Base (AFB) in Florida. Mukai, wearing helmet and life jacket, prepares to use a slide wire system to simulate the rapid approach of a parachute into a water landing. Training instructors coach her before she is dropped from the tower platform. The exercise was part of an overall course on water survival, attended by STS-47 prime and alternate payload specialists shortly after they were announced for the scheduled summer of 1992 Spacelab Japan (SLJ) mission. Mukai represents the National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA).
