Astronauts Heidemarie M. Stefanyshyn-Piper and Stephen G. Bowen (partially obscured), both STS-126 mission specialists, are about to be submerged in the waters of the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory (NBL) near NASA's Johnson Space Center. Stefanyshyn-Piper and Bowen are attired in training versions of the Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) spacesuit. Divers (out of frame) are in the water to assist the crewmembers in their rehearsal, intended to help prepare them for work on the exterior of the International Space Station. 3 April 2008
