STS-31 Mission Specialist (MS) Kathryn D. Sullivan, fully suited in an extravehicular mobility unit (EMU), undergoes final preparations before being lowered into the 25-ft deep pool of JSC's Weightless Environment Training Facility (WETF) Bldg 29. Once underwater, Sullivan will achieve a neutrally buoyant state and 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.
