Preparing to perform bio-medical test on the STS-61-A mission
Wearing an extravehicular mobility unit (EMU) spacesuit, Dunbar prepares to don a helmet and be lowered by a hoist device for a session of underwater training in the Johnson Space Center's weightless environment training facility (WET-F).
Dunbar uses a Doppler to collect medical data from payload specialist Lawrence J. DeLucas during his diagnostic "run" in the Lower Body Negative Pressure device (LBNP). The Doppler is used to pick up high-frequency sound waves from the surface of the heart, thus producing pictures on the monitor of the American Flight Echocardiograph (AFE).
