Description
The Kennedy Space Center Fire Department is tasked with the rescue of flight crew members of the United States Space Shuttle fleet for launch and landing at the Kennedy Space Center and two transatlantic emergency landing sites. This research project addresses the problem of how conventional compressed air technology used in self-contained breathing apparatus SCBA limits the Firefighters at Kennedy Space Center in performing their mission of astronaut rescue.
The purpose of this research project is to examine alternative technologies to compressed air SCBA in hopes of ensuring that the Astronaut Rescue Team members are equipped with an SCBA that best meets their needs.
