Title:
STS-26 crewmembers participate in contingency EVA exercises in JSC WETF
Description:
STS-26 Discovery, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 103, Mission Specialists John M. Lounge and George D. Nelson participate in contingency extravehicular activity (EVA) exercises in JSC Weightless Environment Training Facility (WETF) Bldg 29. Lounge (left) and Nelson, wearing extravehicular mobility units (EMUs), work at airborne support equipment (ASE) tilt table actuator mockup during underwater latch contingency exercises. This exercise is conducted to simulate the task of closing the payload bay doors (PLBDs) manually should they not close automatically. An EVA is not planned for STS-26 but might become necessary should the PLBDs not operate correctly.
