  • Title: Emergency and rescue considerations for manned space missions.
    Author: Griswold HR, Trusch RB.
    Journal: Acta Astronaut; 1981; 8(9-10):1123-33. PubMed ID: 11543103.
    Abstract:
    Man in space is totally dependent upon spacecraft systems. particularly those providing Environmental Control and Life Support (ECLS). It is therefore required that the design of manned spacecraft systems include provision for backup emergency and rescue modes of operation to insure adequate crew safety margin. This paper discusses safety, emergency and rescue provisions included in the Space Transportation System (STS), with emphasis on ECLS subsystems. Similar discussion is included for systems projected for use in future, extended duration manned space missions.
