Abstract:

A fire detection-extinguishment system and an automatic rapid recompression system for a hypobaric man-rated research chamber are described. Both systems are the result of recent Air Force directives to enhance the safety of human subjects confined to aerospace simulators under conditions of altered gaseous atmospheres. Installation, operation, and maintenance instructions are included. Author
