Title: Astronauts Cernan and Rossa participate in simulation aboard KC-135
Description:
Astronaut Eugene A. Cernan, commander of the Apollo 17 lunar landing
mission,  participates in lunar surface extravehicular activity (EVA)
simulation  training under one-sixth gravity conditions aboard a U.S. Air
Force KC-135  aircraft. Here, Cernan simulates removing an experiment
