Getting the Station's legs on

by Linda Conrad
September 17, l998

A hard-working crew pauses for a photo-op as Joe releases air and lowers the rear of the Station to get her ready for submerging.

Lowering the heavy legs (the base is that yellow disk in the picture) just far enough so they can be attached takes a float (in this case the blue barrel)

Joe has obviously developed a great one-handed means of communication as he positions and attaches the legs under the Station.
