Test subjects enter Apollo boilerplate Command Module BP-1102 during ingress and egress procedures training in a water tank at the NASA Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston, Texas, in February 1968. This was done in support of CM-007A tests.

They were probably NASA personnel from the Landing and Recovery Division in Houston. Although some of them might have been on loan from Navy or Air Force.

The two test subjects were from NASA's Crew Systems Division.
