This suspension device was used to reduce the apparent weight of a flight PLSS so that crew could check EMU fit and function. The following series of pictures was taking on 25 June 1969 during the 'EMU CCFF' session listed in the Apollo 11 Crew Training Summaries for that date. Jack Schmitt remembers that CCFF was "Crew Compartment Fit and Function" The suits, PLSS and other gear seen in these pictures are evidently the flight units. Scan courtesy NASA Johnson.
