STS-54 Endeavour, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 105, Mission Specialist 3 (MS3) Susan J. Helms, wearing liquid cooling and ventilation garment (LCVG) and extravehicular mobility unit (EMU) lower torso, prepares to don EMU upper torso with some assistance from technicians. Once fully suited in the EMU, Helms will participate in an underwater extravehicular activity (EVA) simulation in JSC's Weightless Environment Training Facility (WETF) Bldg 29. Though not assigned to the scheduled EVA, Helms, for backup and contingency purposes, is trained in the WETF. Nearby, divers await her entry into the water via the platform (visible behind Helms). The EMU is weighted so as to allow Helms to achieve neutral buoyancy and simulate the various chores of the spacewalk.
