[i]The SAFER unit to be tested on STS-86 is the first flight production model. Parazynski and Titov will be wearing the devices, and, while remaining tethered and in a foot restraint, they will evaluate the deployment of the hand controller and the firing of the automatic attitude hold feature. Firing the automatic attitude hold feature while the astronauts are in a foot restraint will test the firing mechanisms in the device, such as the valves and gas thrusters. The astronauts will not perform any free-flight testing of the SAFER as was performed on STS-64.[/i]
