EMU maintenance training in practice

A NASA Johnson we learn how to maintain the NASA spacesuits, called Extravehicular Mobility Units, EMU, in space lingo. Basically a mini-spacesuit in their own right they require quite some technical knowledge to maintain – from electrics (helmet lights!), radio communications, leak checks and the cooling and heating system, all must be in perfect order to keep us alive if we are to venture outside the Space Station. Putting all the knowledge to use in this picture to help Shane and Peggy get out of their suits after their spacewalk.

Une photo prise pendant Proxima pour illustrer la manipulation des scaphandres en situation : ici j’aidais Peggy et Shane à enlever leur scaphandre à l’issue d’une sortie extravéhiculaire – en suivant à la lettre le protocole enseigné à Houston !
