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.
