  Title: STS-47 MS Davis and MS Jemison conduct LBNP experiment in the SLJ module
  Description:
  At the aft end of the Spacelab Japan (SLJ) science module, STS-47 Mission 
  Specialist (MS) N. Jan Davis (foreground) readies Rack 9 Automatic Blood 
  Pressure System (ABPS) controls as MS Mae C. Jemison, inside the
  cylindrical  fabric lower body negative pressure (LBNP) device, waits for
  the LBNP  experiment to begin.  LBNP device is sealed around Jemison's
  waist.  It is  attached to the SLJ floor and has a controller that operates
