Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films? Visit Visit our website To test designs of new Apollo spacesuits, a large water tank was employed. This (badly damaged) film shows SCUBA divers in the tank, assisting a test subject in a spacesuit, who is attempting to perform simulated assembly tasks using some kind of drill (9:44). Note the handhold which the “astronaut“ uses to provide leverage for the activity. We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment! See something interesting?
