Curbeam (partially obscured), both STS-116 mission specialists, are about to be submerged in the waters of the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory (NBL) near the Johnson Space Center. Fuglesang and Curbeam are wearing training versions of the Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) spacesuit. Divers are in the water to assist the crewmembers during this training session.
