ASTRONAUT CHARLES CONRAD, JR. – TRAINING (PRIME CREW)(WATER EGRESS)

Astronaut Charles Conrad Jr., Gemini 5 Pilot, sits in the Gemini Static Article 5 Spacecraft and prepares to be lowered from the deck of the NASA Motor Vessel Retriever for Water Egress Training. The rubber "hat" on Astronaut Conrad's head is a neck dam and pulls down and fits tightly around the collar of his suit to prevent water from entering the suit.
