STS-112 Preflight Emergency Egress Training
JSC2002-00864 (24 April 2002) --- Astronaut Jeffrey S. Ashby, STS-112 mission commander, uses a device called a Sky genie to simulate rappelling from a troubled shuttle in a training session in the Space Vehicle Mockup Facility at the Johnson Space Center (JSC). The mockup is called the Full Fuselage Trainer (FFT). This exercise trains the crewmembers for procedures to follow in egressing a troubled shuttle on the ground. United Space Alliance (USA) crew trainer Bob Behrendsen assisted Ashby.
