JSC2007-E-25273 (21 May 2007) --- Astronaut Dafydd R. (Dave) Williams, STS-118 mission specialist representing the Canadian Space Agency, prepares to use virtual reality hardware in the Space Vehicle Mockup Facility at Johnson Space Center to rehearse some of his duties on the upcoming mission to the International Space Station.
