JSC2004-E-37735 (18 August 2004) --- Astronaut Mark E. Kelly, STS-121 pilot, uses a climbing apparatus 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. Kelly is wearing a training version of the shuttle launch and entry suit.
