  Title: ESA MS Nicollier is lowered into JSC's WETF pool for underwater simulation
  Description:
  European Space Agency (ESA) Mission Specialist (MS) Claude Nicollier, fully 
  suited in an extravehicular mobility unit (EMU) and standing on a platform, 
  is lowered into JSC's Weightless Environment Training Facility (WETF) Bldg
  29  pool for an underwater extravehicular activity (EVA) simulation and 
  familiarization session.  Nicollier's EMU is weighted to facilitate a 
  neutrally buoyant condition.  He is assisted by two SCUBA-equipped divers.
