  Title: STS-46 MS PLC Hoffman floats in life raft during water egress training at JSC
  Description:
  STS-46 Atlantis, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 104, Mission Specialist (MS) and 
  Payload Commander Jeffrey A. Hoffman floats in a one-person life raft
  during  launch emergency egress (bailout) simulation conducted in JSC's
  Weightless  Environment Training Facility (WETF) Bldg 29 pool.  Hoffman,
  who has just  tumbled out a side hatch mockup, waits for his life raft to
  fully inflate as  a SCUBA-equipped diver looks on.  The long cylindrical
  object in the  foreground serves as a prop for the crew escape system (CES)
  pole.  In the  background MS Franklin R. Chang-Diaz floats in a fully
  inflated life raft.
