  Title: STS-48 MS Buchli, in EMU, is lowered into JSC's WETF pool for EVA simulation
  Description:
  STS-48 Mission Specialist (MS) James F. Buchli, wearing an extravehicular 
  mobility unit (EMU), is watched by SCUBA-equipped divers as the platform he 
  is standing on is lowered into JSC's Weightless Environment Training
  Facility  (WETF) Bldg 29 pool.  When completely underwater, Buchli will be
  released  from the platform and will perform contingency extravehicular
  activity (EVA)  operations. This underwater simulation of a spacewalk is
  part of the training  required for Buchli's upcoming mission aboard
  Discovery, Orbiter Vehicle (OV)  103.
