Astronaut Julie Payette floats in a life raft during emergency bailout training. A SCUBA-equipped diver, among a number of swimmers assisting in the training session, appears in the background. The STS-96 mission specialist, who represents the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), was joined by five NASA astronauts for the training session in the Johnson Space Center's Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory (NBL). Those six will be joined by a Russian cosmonaut aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery for the STS-96 mission later this year.
