Title: Astronauts Thornton and Bluford doing experiments on One-G trainer
Description:
Astronaut William E. Thornton conducts a medical test on Astronaut Guion S.
Bluford in the middeck section of JSC's One-G trainer for the shuttle
orbiter. The two mission specialists are demonstrating the head/eye
tracking experiment for STS-8. Bluford's head was in motion, as the test
subject is to move his head from side to side while blindfolded and
electrode-fitted (37626); Thornton and Bluford demonstrate an on-orbit
experiment. The treadmill device which Bluford is strapped into was
designed by Dr. Thornton (37627).
