  Title: STS-48 crewmembers don their LESs prior to JSC emergency egress training
  Description:
  STS-48 Discovery, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 103, Commander John O. Creighton 
  (left) and Pilot Kenneth D. Reightler stand while technicians zip up the 
  backs of their launch and entry suits (LESs).  Mission Specialist (MS) 
  Charles D. Gemar (far right), with his legs in the LES pants, prepares to 
  pull the upper portion over his head.  The crewmembers are donning the LESs 
  in preparation for post-landing emergency egress exercises.  When suited
  the  crewmembers will board JSC's Full Fuselage Trainer (FFT), a space
  shuttle  mockup, for the simulation.  The FFT is located in the Mockup and
  Integration  Laboratory Bldg 9A.
