STS-31 MS McCandless dons EMU for JSC EVA underwater simulation in WETF pool |
| Description |
STS-31 Mission Specialist (MS) Bruce McCandless II, wearing an extravehicular mobility unit (EMU) lower torso, pulls his head and arms through the EMU upper torso with the assistance of two technicians. McCandless is positioned on a platform at the poolside of JSC's Weightless Environment Training Facility (WETF) Bldg 29. Once fully suited in the EMU, McCandless will be lowered into the nearby pool via the platform. Underwater and in a neutrally buoyant state, McCandless will rehearse contingency extravehicular activity (EVA) procedures associated with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) payload. There are no EVAs planned for the flight aboard Discovery, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 103. |

STS-31 Mission Specialist (MS) Bruce McCandless II, fully suited in an extravehicular mobility unit (EMU), maneuvers around the remote manipulator system (RMS) end effector during an underwater simulation in JSC's Weightless Environment Training Facility (WETF) Bldg 29 pool. The end effector is attached to a grapple fixture on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) mockup. A SCUBA-equipped diver looks on as McCandless completes RMS-related activities. Though no extravehicular activity (EVA) is planned for STS-31, two crewmembers train for contingencies that would necessitate leaving the shirt sleeve environment of Discovery's, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 103's, crew cabin and performing chores with the HST payload or related hardware in the payload bay (PLB). |

McCandless works with a mockup of the remote manipulator system (RMS) end effector which is attached to a grapple fixture on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) mockup. Sullivan manipulates HST hardware on the Support System Module (SSM) forward shell. SCUBA-equipped divers monitor the extravehicular mobility unit (EMU) suited crewmembers during this simulated extravehicular activity (EVA). No EVA is planned for the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) deployment, but the duo has trained for contingencies which might arise during the STS-31 mission aboard Discovery, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 103.

STS-31 Mission Specialist (MS) Kathryn D. Sullivan applies a gel to a transducer while MS Bruce McCandless II uses a central venous pressure mouthpiece on the middeck of Discovery, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 103. The crewmembers are conducting Detailed Supplementary Objective (DSO) 462, Non-Invasive Estimation of Central Venous Pressure. After preparing the transducer, Sullivan will apply it to McCandless' juggler. DSO 462 will measure the physiological adaptation to the headward shift that occurs in microgravity. This non-invasive technique of determining central venous pressure uses the mouthpiece with varying resistance and a probe that utilizes Doppler flowmetry. |
