Title: Flying Saucer? Aliens?
Full Description: No, it’s not a flying saucer, it is the domed top to a 70 foot long vacuum tank at the Lewis Research Center’s Electric Propulsion Laboratory, Cleveland, Ohio. The three technicians shown here in protective clothing had just emerged from within the tank where they had been cleaning in the toxic mercury atmosphere, left after ion engine testing in the tank. Lewis has since been renamed the John H. Glenn Research Center.

Title: Reduced Gravity Walking Simulator
Full Description: A test subject being suited up for studies on the Reduced Gravity Walking Simulator located in the hangar at Langley Research Center.
