“ASTRONAUT CANDIDATE IN WATER SURVIVAL TRAINING --- Mission Specialist/Astronaut Candidate Sally K. Ride watches a fellow pupil gliding over water survival training school at Homestead Air Force Base. Sixteen of the recently named group of 35 Shuttle astronaut candidates took part in the course. The event was designed to prepare the trainees for proper measures to take in the event of emergency ejection from an aircraft over water.
SINCE THIS PHOTOGRAPH WAS MADE: Dr. Ride and her 34 fellow class members from Astronaut Group 3 became full-fledged members of the JSC astronaut corps in September 1979. Dr. Ride has been named as mission specialist for STS-7.”
