STS-37 Mission Specialist (MS) Ross prepares for EVA exercise in JSC WETF |
| Description |
STS-37 Atlantis, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 104, Mission Specialist (MS) Jerry L. Ross, wearing extravehicular mobility unit (EMU), fastens neck strap on communications carrier assembly (CCA) in preparation for extravehicular activity (EVA) simulation exercise in JSC's Weightless Environment Training Facility (WETF) Bldg 29. Ross will rehearse scheduled EVA procedures with the Crew and Equipment Translation Aid (CETA) during the training session in the WETF's 25-ft deep pool. CETA is a type of railroad hand cart vehicle planned as a spacewalker's transportation system along the truss of Space Station Freedom (SSF). CETA will be in OV-104's payload bay. |

STS-37 crewmembers work with CETA during EVA training in JSC's WETF |
| Description |
STS-37 Atlantis, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 104, Mission Specialist (MS) Jerry L. Ross and MS Jerome Apt operate crew and equipment translation aid (CETA) electrical hand pedal cart during training session in JSC's Weightless Environment Training Facility (WETF) Bldg 29. Wearing extravehicular mobility units (EMUs), Ross and Apt practice a extravehicular activity (EVA) spacewalk they will perform in OV-104's payload bay during STS-37. CETA is a type of railroad hand cart planned as a spacewalker's transportation system along the truss of Space Station Freedom (SSF). Apt is pulling Ross along to test the cart's ability to carry a person plus cargo. SCUBA divers monitor astronauts' underwater activity. |

STS-37 crewmembers with CETA mechanical cart during simulation in JSC's WETF |
| Description |
STS-37 Atlantis, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 104, Mission Specialist (MS) Jerome Apt, wearing extravehicular mobility unit (EMU), operates the crew and equipment translation aid (CETA) mechanical pump cart during an underwater simulation in JSC's Weightless Environment Training Facility (WETF) Bldg 29. EMU-suited MS Jerry L. Ross manipulates tether shuttle at the end of the CETA rail or track. CETA is a type of railroad hand cart planned as a spacewalker's transportation system along the truss of Space Station Freedom (SSF). SCUBA-equipped divers monitor the astronauts' activity. |

| Title |
STS-37 crewmembers move CETA electrical cart along rail in JSC's WETF pool |
| Description |
STS-37 Atlantis, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 104, Mission Specialist (MS) Jerry L. Ross generates electrical power using hand pedals to move crew and equipment translation aid (CETA) cart along a rail during underwater session in JSC's Weightless Environment Training Facility (WETF) Bldg 29. Wearing an extravehicular mobility unit (EMU), Ross operates CETA electrical cart as MS Jerome Apt holds onto the back of the cart. The two crewmembers are practicing a extravehicular activity (EVA) spacewalk they will perform in OV-104's payload bay during STS-37. CETA is a type of railroad hand cart planned as a spacewalker's transportation system along the truss of Space Station Freedom (SSF). SCUBA divers monitor astronauts' underwater activity. |

| Title |
STS-37 crewmembers test CETA hand cart during training session in JSC's WETF |
| Description |
STS-37 Atlantis, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 104, Mission Specialist (MS) Jerry L. Ross and MS Jerome Apt test crew and equipment translation aid (CETA) manual hand over hand cart during underwater session in JSC's Weightless Environment Training Facility (WETF) Bldg 29. Wearing an extravehicular mobility unit (EMU), Ross pulls the CETA manual cart along the rail while Apt holds onto the back of the cart. The test will determine how difficult it is to maneuver cargo in such a manner when it is done in space on STS-37. The goal is to find the best method for astronauts to move around the exterior of Space Station Freedom (SSF). |
