  Title: STS-48 crewmembers during emergency egress exercises in JSC's MAIL Bldg 9A
  Description:
  During a post landing emergency egress briefing and training session,
  STS-48  crewmembers, wearing launch and entry suits (LESs), sit outside the
  Full  Fuselage Trainer (FFT) as they discuss procedures with the training
  personnel  and among themselves.  Left to right are Commander John O.
  Creighton, Pilot  Kenneth S. Reightler, Mission Specialist (MS) James F.
  Buchli, MS Charles D.  Gemar, and MS Mark N. Brown.   Following the
  briefing the crewmembers will  rehearse egress procedures necessary in the
  event of a landing mishap.  This  simulation is standard training for space
  shuttle crews.  These crewmembers  will fly aboard Discovery, Orbiter
  Vehicle (OV) 103, on their mission  scheduled for mid-September of this
  year.
