Astronaut William F. Readdy, mission commander, is assisted by William Todd as he puts final touches on his space suit. Readdy was about to participate in emergency bailout training in the Johnson Space Center's (JSC) Weightless Environment Training Facility (WET-F), joined by some of his fellow crew members. This session helped to refresh the crew on usage of the Shuttle's escape pole system, parachuting into water, deploying a life raft and signaling for help.
