Late and short update today.
Terry and I ran one of the pump module replacement EVAs, as I mentioned in an earlier post. Days in the Neutral Buoyancy Lab are always long and full. We get there around 6:30 – 7:00 and then it’s a busy program until around 17:00. We prepare all our tools on the pool-deck first thing in the morning, then the doctors sees us to make sure we’re OK, then on to the briefing with the whole NBL team and back to the pool deck for suiting up. We work under water until 15:00 then we get the suit off, get a quick shower and it’s debrief time!
It was great training, full of challenges and learning points. Now it’s time to go and get a drink: I don’t know how it happened, but it’s already Friday night!
PS: thanks to our Chief Training Officer Josh Matthew for coming out to the pool and for the pic!
