Michael Foale, left, and Claude Nicollier, both assigned to EVA duty on the STS-103 crew's upcoming servicing visit to the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), pose for an informal portrait in training versions of the launch and entry space garment. Nicollier is one of two astronauts on this crew who represent the European Space Agency (ESA).
Description
S99-08674 (24 May 1999) --- Three members of the third HST servicing mission's crew share a light moment while waiting to participate in emergency bailout training in the Johnson Space Center's Systems Integration Facility. From the left are astronauts Scott J. Kelly, C. Michael Foale and Jean-Francois Clervoy. Clervoy is a mission specialist representing the European Space Agency (ESA); Foale is a mission specialist; and Kelly, the STS-103 pilot.
Description
S99-08648 (24 May 1999) --- Suit technicians assist astronaut C. Michael Foale, mission specialist, in readying for a session of emergency bailout training in the Systems Integration Facility at the Johnson Space Center (JSC). Foale, wearing a training version of the partial-pressure launch and entry garment, and his six STS-103 crew mates are currently in training for the third servicing visit to the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) since its 1990 deployment.

Description
S99-06192 (21 June 1999) --- Astronaut C. Michael Foale, mission specialist, wearing an underwater-adapted training version of the Shuttle extravehicular mobility unit (EMU), prepares to go below the water in the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory (NBL). Foale and other astronauts assigned to STS-103 space walk duty are in training for EVA chores they will handle when they make the third servicing visit to the Earth-orbiting Hubble Space Telescope (HST) since its deployment in April 1990.
Description
S99-05681 (24 May 1999) --- Astronaut C. Michael Foale, mission specialist, uses virtual reality hardware to rehearse some of his extravehicular activity duties (EVA) on the upcoming STS-103 mission, NASA's third servicing visit to the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). He will join six other astronauts for the servicing mission, scheduled for the autumn of this year.
Description
S103-E-5308 (23 December 1999) --- Astronauts C. Michael Foale (left) and Claude Nicollier hover above Discovery's aft cargo bay during their shared space walk to perform servicing tasks on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The photo was taken with an electronic still camera (ESC).
