trainer, briefs cosmonaut Boris V. Morukov on the usage of a special device that enables the STS-106 mission specialist to rappel from a shuttle in trouble on the ground. A nearby crew-training mockup in the JSC's Systems Integration Facility allowed
the Russian Aviation and Space Agency's
cosmonaut the opportunity to train for
procedures to follow in the event of the need to evacuate a distressed shuttle's cabin while on the ground.
