Title STS-49 INTELSAT VI-R WETF exercise with astronauts Musgrave, Clifford, Voss
Description STS-49 Endeavour, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 105, International Telecommunications Satellite Organization (INTELSAT) VI-R simulation at JSC's Weightless Environment Training Facility (WETF) Bldg 29 was conducted with extravehicular mobility unit (EMU) suited astronauts F. Story Musgrave, Michael R. U. Clifford, and James S. Voss. Astronauts practiced a three person extravehicular activity (EVA) procedure for INTELSAT capture. Ground based exercises were conducted after five failed INTELSAT capture attempts during the STS-49 mission. In this underwater group portrait, eleven SCUBA-equipped divers pose with the three trouble shooting astronauts. Astronauts are (left to right) Clifford, Musgrave, and Voss. Test results provided input for orbiting STS-49 crewmembers on possible alternate INTELSAT capture procedures. Three OV-105 astronauts will attempt to capture the INTELSAT again on 05-13-92. Portrait made by NASA JSC contract photographer Scott A. Wickes.

Description STS-49 Endeavour, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 105, International Telecommunications Satellite Organization (INTELSAT) VI-R simulation at JSC's Weightless Environment Training Facility (WETF) Bldg 29 was conducted with extravehicular mobility unit (EMU) suited astronauts F. Story Musgrave, Michael R. U. Clifford, and James S. Voss. Astronauts practiced a three person extravehicular activity (EVA) procedure for INTELSAT capture and climbing into the airlock mockup. No apparent problems were identified in placing three astronauts in the airlock at one time. Ground based exercises were conducted after five failed INTELSAT capture attempts during the STS-49 mission. Left to right are, Clifford, Musgrave, and Voss. With Musgrave on the remote manipulator system (RMS) manipulator foot restraint (MFR) and Clifford on a portable foot restraint mounted on the payload bay sill longeron, and Voss on a PFR mounted on a strut with the PFR Attachment Device (PAD), the capture bar is maneuvered under the INT

Description STS-49 Endeavour, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 105, International Telecommunications Satellite Organization (INTELSAT) VI-R simulation at JSC's Weightless Environment Training Facility (WETF) Bldg 29 was conducted with extravehicular mobility unit (EMU) suited astronauts F. Story Musgrave and Michael R. U. Clifford. Astronauts evaluate techniques involving the capture of INTELSAT VI-R. Musgrave (left) and Clifford (right) practice installation of the capture bar to the INTELSAT mockup in the WETF pool. Ground based exercises were conducted after five failed INTELSAT capture attempts during the STS-49 mission. With Musgrave on a portable foot restraint (PFR) (mounted on a PFR Attachment Device) and Clifford on a PFR mounted on the payload bay (PLB) sill longeron, the capture bar is attached to the INTELSAT mockup. Test results provided input for orbiting STS-49 crewmembers on possible alternate INTELSAT capture procedures. SCUBA-equipped divers assist in and monitor simulation activities.

Musgrave (right) on portable foot restraint (PFR) mounted on the INTELSAT cradle and Clifford on a portable foot restraint (PFR) mounted on the payload bay (PLB) sill longeron get handholds on the INTELSAT mockup as the capture bar freefloats in the PLB (foreground). Once the astronauts stabilize the INTELSAT mockup, they will attach the capture bar. Test results provided input for orbiting STS-49 crewmembers on possible alternate INTELSAT capture procedures. SCUBA-equipped divers assist in and monitor the simulation activity.

Title STS-61 crewmembers in the WETF rehearsing for HST repair mission
Description Wearing a training version of Space Shuttle Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU), Astronaut Kathryn C. Thornton uses the giant pool of JSC's Weightless Environment Training Facility (WETF) to rehearse for the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) repair mission. Standing on a mobile foot restraint connected to the Shuttle's robot arm, Thornton grasps a large structure which attaches to the Wide Field/Planetary Camera (WF/PC). A SCUBA-equipped diver can be seen in the background (33101), Astronaut Thomas D. Akers uses the giant pool of JSC's WETF to rehearse for the HST repair mission. Standing on a mobile foot restraint connected to the Shuttle's robot arm, Akers works with a full-scale training version of the WF/PC. Several SCUBA-equipped divers assist in the rehearsal (33102), Astronauts F. Story Musgrave and Jeffrey A. Hoffman, in training versions of the EMU, use the WETF to rehearse for the HST repair mission. The two are working with a full-scale training version of the Wide Field/Planetary
