| Description: Pre-flight data collection projects in preparation for the STS-58 Spacelab Life Sciences (SLS-2) mission: Payload specialist Martin J. Fettman, in an oscillating sled device, participates in data collection for neurovestibular functions (45363); Astronaut David A. Wolf, mission specialist, participates in data collection for the cardiovascular experiments scheduled for SLS-2 (45364); Fettman in an oscillating sled device in upper left. His responses to the sled's movements are recorded by a team of monitors in the foreground (45365); Astronaut John E. Blaha, mission commander, sits in a training version of the rotating chair test device. Sensor are attached to Blaha's head and face to record responses to the rotation (45366); Astronaut Rhea Seddon, payload commander, participates in biomedical data collection (45367); Fettman (face obscured), in an oscillating sled device, participates in data collection for neurovestibular functions. Assisting the test are Dr. Laurence Young, alternate payload specialist, and an unidentified MIT student (45368); Training on pre-breathing assembly, Fettman inhales a predetermined gas composition. A gas analyzer mass spectrometer determines the composition of the gases he exhales. With him are Mark Smitter and Janelle Kosoner. The re-breathing assembly and gas analyzer system are part of an investigation that explores how lung function is altered in space flight (45369); Amalour Veloso (left) and Sandra Prow draw blood from Wolf to be used in SLS-2 investigations (45370); Astride the ergometer, Fettman breathes into the re-breathing unit during the resting phase of an experiment (45371).
