S93-42453 (September 1993) --- Astronaut Catherine G. Coleman, mission specialist for STS-73, is about to don the helmet portion of a high-fidelity training version of an Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) space suit at the Johnson Space Center?s (JSC) Weightless Environment Training Facility (WET-F). Coleman, who has recently been named as one of seven crew members for the U.S. Microgravity Laboratory (USML-2) mission, was about to go underwater in a 25-feet deep pool. The pool is used to train astronauts for mission specific space walk chores as well as for contingency Extravehicular Activity (EVA) tasks. There is no space walk planned for STS-73.
