The Weightless Environment Training Facility (WETF)... consists of a water-filled pool with dimensions of 25 ft. (depth) x 78 ft. (length) x 33 ft. (width). Also included, is a urification system, environmental controls, television monitoring, a 5-ton capacity overhead crane, a test director, and medical support personnel ... The WETF is a controlled neutral buoyancy facility used to simulate the conditions of weightlessness for astronaut training. It provides for the evaluation of body restraints, handholds, and extravehicular activity (EVA) equipment; for the development of crew procedures and for the determination of EVA capabilities and workload limits. The facility provides high fidelity simulations of crew on-orbit operations in a controlled environment and substantially reduces human risks when performing EVA operations.  2, record 1, English, - weightless%20environment%20training%20facility
