Wearing a training version of Space Shuttle Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU), astronaut Jeffrey A. Hoffman uses the giant pool of the Johnson Space Center's (JSC) Weightless Environment Training Facility (WET-F) to rehearse for the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) repair mission. Out of frame is astronaut F. Story Musgrave, who will join Hoffman in STS-61 EVA. The hand at top frame belongs to a SCUBA-equipped diver. A number of divers are on hand for all training sessions in the WET-F. A total of five extravehicular activity (EVA) sessions will be conducted during the scheduled December mission of the Endeavour.
