Astronaut Crew Practices Emergency Bail-Out Procedures

The crew of STS-70 practices bail-out procedure training at the Johnson Space Center in Houston.
Shuttlesource is a space shuttle video archive featuring rare and exclusive video from the program’s 30-year history. Relying on private and NASA sourced video, this is a project to restore and digitize this historical treasure for all to enjoy.
With over 1,000 hours of video still to be released, the video archive will offer perspective on every shuttle mission from astronaut training, briefings, mission operations, orbiter preparations and news media coverage as a snapshot in time.
Thanks to all have contributed your footage and offered support, enjoy the videos!

3:10 strange seeing the LES worn with the pre-challenger clamshell helmet, great to see the insights into mission training! Fantastic footage as always 😀

Stupid PR stunt putting on the bailout system. If the orbiter was stable enough and at an adequate altitude to bailout, then why would they bailout?

Designed for if they maybe had to do an emergency de-orbit and couldn’t make it to a run way. Just a glider remember.
Wouldn’t fancy it myself mind. Probably the only reason for it
