PREFACE

This study on Advanced Missions Safety has been performed as Task 2. 6 of

Contract NASw-2301, entitled, "Advanced Space Program Analysis and

Planning." The task consisted of three subtasks.

Subtask 1 — Space Shuttle Rescue Capability

Subtask 2 - Experiment Safety

Subtask 3 - Emergency Crew Transfer

Each subtask is an entity not related to or dependent upon any activity under

either of the other two subtasks.

The results of Task 2. 6 are presented in three volumes.

Volume I; Executive Summary Report presents a brief, con-

cise review of results and summarizes the princi-

pal conclusions and recommendations for all three

subtasks.

Volume II: Technical Discussion is in three parts, each pro-

viding a comprehensive discussion of a single

subtask.

Part 1 provides an assessment of Earth Orbit

Shuttle (EOS) capability to perform a rescue mis-

sion. It treats several concepts for augmenting

this capability and increasing EOS rescue mission

utility.

Part 2 presents an analysis of potential hazards

introduced when experimental equipment is carried

aboard the EOS. It identifies safety guidelines and

requirements for eliminating or reducing these

hazards.

Page 5: Advanced Missions Safety - NASAATR-72(7316-01)-1 Vol. HI-2 ADVANCED MISSIONS SAFETY VOLUME III - APPENDICES Part 2, Experiment Safety - Supporting Analyses Prepared by Systems Planning

Part 3 discusses the applicability and utility of

various means of emergency crew transfer between

a disabled and a rescuing vehicle.

Volume III; Appendices is in two parts, each devoted to an

individual subtask. Part 1 contains detailed sup-

porting analysis and backup material for Subtask 1,

and Part 2 contains similar material for Subtask 2.

Volume III is of interest primarily to the technical

specialist.

Since the reader is not necessarily interested in all three subtasks, each

part of Volumes II and III is a separate document.

All calculations were made using the customary system of units, and the data

are presented on that basis. Values in the International System of Units (SI)

are also given. Data taken from reference sources are presented in the sys-

tem of units employed in the original reference.

The Advanced Missions Safety Task was sponsored by NASA Headquarters

and managed by the Advanced Missions Office .of the Office of Manned Space

Flight. Mr. Herbert Schaefer, the study monitor, provided guidance and

counsel that significantly aided the effort. Mr. Charles W. Childs of the

Safety Office, NASA Headquarters, and Miss Ruth Weltmann of the Aerospace

Safety Research and Data Institute, NASA-Lewis, also provided valuable con-

tributions by reviewing the Experiment Safety Study results and making posi-

tive suggestions for improving the visibility of the results.

SUMMARY OVERVIEW

In contrast to safety considerations in experiment ground facilities, which

emphasize experimenter safety first, an experiment laboratory in space has

to give prime safety considerations to the operational functioning of the

Orbiter to enable a safe crew return.

In ground facilities, hazardous experiments are separated from other experi-

ments and personnel. For space operations, experiment equipment of a

hazardous nature may be densely packed, because flight costs are high. For

this reason special attention has to be given to potential interferences and

interactions such as overheating, permeating fields, spurious signals, high-

voltage potential, etc. Such interaction between experiments could lead to a

malfunction of otherwise safe equipment and might influence the safe operation

o f t h e Orbiter. ' • , - • - . . .

Many hazardous materials on board the Orbiter, such as cryogenics, storable

propellants, etc. , will add to the hazards of some of the experiments and the

crew. The location of such materials in relation to any experiment or

Orbiter equipment, as well as the access and egress routes for the experi-

menters, requires serious consideration.

In contrast to most ground laboratories, the Orbiter structure outside the

crew compartment can withstand a pressure difference of only a few psi. .

Therefore, experiments with components of a potential high pressure or

explosive source have to be constrained, shielded, or safed to prevent inad-

vertant activation by other experiments.

Toxic and hazardous materials (especially in gaseous or powder form), which

present a health hazard to men or which can damage materials or equipment,

may have to be double-contained with special environmental conditioning

systems, as complete cleanup of contaminants in zero gravity might be

impossible to achieve.

Page 7: Advanced Missions Safety - NASAATR-72(7316-01)-1 Vol. HI-2 ADVANCED MISSIONS SAFETY VOLUME III - APPENDICES Part 2, Experiment Safety - Supporting Analyses Prepared by Systems Planning

Venting of effluents into space, even in small amounts, will create a thrust

that has to be counteracted if the Experiment Module or the Orbiter are to

remain in a given orbit and prevented from tumbling. Thus, effluent outlets

should be designed and located so that any undesired thrust is compensated

by a counteracting thrust. If this cannot be achieved in an emergency, suf-

ficient Orbiter thrust should be available to keep the Orbiter on course, even

if all effluent has to be vented by emergency relief in one direction. Similar

considerations apply also to the case of rotating equipment producing reaction

torques.

Many of the experiments being considered for shirtsleeve operation will re-

quire venting of one or more fluids because they are conducted in an artificial

environment that has to be maintained for crew life support. Different fluid

lines require prominent marking, ready accessibility for repair, and arrange-

ment to permit convenient access or egress. All fluid lines require markings

and connectors that are unique to any one fluid.

Many of the experiments being considered have high-voltage components with

the potential of fire, shock, etc. which could result in .injury to the crew and

damage to the Orbiter. The clear indication of the operational status of such

components is required. In case of emergency, provisions for automatic

shut-down and rapid discharge after shutdown are required. Ground circuits

should be avoided.

Emergency situations resulting from experiment equipment and/or its opera-

tion that could lead to Orbiter damage and/or loss require immediate assess-

ment by the Orbiter crew. This can be accomplished by providing warning

signals in the crew compartment which indicate the hazard, its severity, its

location, etc. Normal procedures provide the commander with the authority

to determine actions necessary to save the Orbiter and crew. This may in-

volve sacrificing an experiment, an Experiment Module, and perhaps even a

crew member, if the emergency warrants such drastic means and the Orbiter

and most of the crew can be saved by such an action.

Page 8: Advanced Missions Safety - NASAATR-72(7316-01)-1 Vol. HI-2 ADVANCED MISSIONS SAFETY VOLUME III - APPENDICES Part 2, Experiment Safety - Supporting Analyses Prepared by Systems Planning

Radiation sources, such as radioisotopes, X-rays, lasers, etc., which can

cause injury to men and damage to materials, equipment, experiments, and

the operation of the Orbiter, should be clearly marked, monitored, shielded,

and located so that no interference is possible under normal operating con-

ditions. Emergency procedures and plans should be prepared and executed

if an emergency or malfunction is indicated by the monitoring system.

In ground facilities the safety plan for any complex experiment usually iden-

tifies start-up, operating, and normal and emergency shutdown procedures.

For the case of an Orbiter, where a number of experiments might be operated

simultaneously, safety procedures should consider not only single experi-

ments but also the interactions of all experiments to be operated at any one

time. A certain shutdown procedure might be safe for one experiment but

might create an emergency situation in another experiment, thus endangering

the Orbiter and crew. Such procedures might indicate, for example, that if

an emergency occurs in experiment A, experiment B has to be shut down prior

to taking action on experiment A. In another situation the Orbiter may be re-

quired to make a certain maneuver before shutdown action can be taken on

either experiment, in order to ensure the safety of the Orbiter.

In the case of hazardous experiment equipment such as lasers and X-rays,

there should be a trade-off study made to determine whether the experiment

should be conducted within or exterior to the Experiment Module or Orbiter.

If located within the Experiment Module, the experimenter can closely super-

vise the experiment operations and ensure compliance with all safety pro-

cedures. If located exterior to the Module or Orbiter, docking or EVA may

be required. Such operations also have safety implications, such as collisions

and EVA hazards.

1. INTRODUCTION

1. 1 BACKGROUND

A major NASA objective is to utilize manned space flight capability for the

benefit of our nation and mankind. To further this objective, a number of

experiment programs have been defined. These experiments are described

in the "Reference Earth Orbital Research and Applications Investigations"

(Blue Book), Ref. 1. This broad-based experiment program definition

encompasses the disciplines of astronomy, physics, earth observations,

communications/navigation, materials science and manufacturing, technol-

ogy, and the life sciences.

Present plans place complete dependence on the Space Shuttle for transport-

ing such scientific and application payloads into space and returning them

(where appropriate) from earth orbit. Additionally, the Orbiter element of

the Shuttle is required to deploy and retrieve payloads in some instances; in

other cases the Orbiter functions as a primary base of operations for an

attached experiment payload. In all cases the nature of the experiment pay-

loads and their potential for introducing or precipitating hazards which

endanger the safety of experimenters and/or the Orbiter and its crew are

of obvious interest. Therefore, this study was undertaken to investigate

the safety aspects of in-space experiments performed in connection with

the Space Shuttle.

1. 2 STUDY OBJECTIVES

The objectives of the study were:

a. Analyze the potential emergency situations created by carryingexperiment equipment aboard a Space Shuttle.

b. Identify safety guidelines and requirements for eliminating orreducing hazards to the Space Shuttle and its crew which maybe introduced by the experiment equipment and its operations.

The safety analysis considered all mission phases from the launch pad

through to deployment, free flight (where applicable), experiment operations,

retrieval, and final disposition. Also considered were the interactions of the

experiment equipment and experiment operations with Experiment Modules

(Pallet, MSM, RAM, Sortie Module, etc. ) and the Space Shuttle, other pay-

loads within the Qrbiter cargo bay, and associated satellites.

2. EXPERIMENT AND HARDWARE DEFINITION

2. 1 EXPERIMENT EQUIPMENT AND SUPPORT REQUIREMENTS

A brief review of the literature indicated that a comprehensive identification

of basic candidate experiments and experiment equipment being considered as

payloads for the Space Shuttle was contained in the Blue Book, Ref. 1. Supple-

mentary experiment and hardware data, more specifically related to Space

Shuttle applicability (and extending to automated satellite payload compatibility),

was treated extensively in the SOAR study, Ref. 2. These two reference

sources, then, were utilized to provide baseline definitions of experiment

equipment and support requirements for the present safety analysis.

2.1.1 Blue Book Definitions

The 15 January 1971 edition of "Reference Earth Orbital Research and

Applications Investigations" (Blue Book) provides the latest definition of

experiment requirements data for continuing NASA Space Station, Space

Shuttle, and Research Application Module (RAM) definition activities.

The Blue Book describes experiment requirements for seven scientific

disciplines and functional program elements (FPEs) within each discipline,

where appropriate. An FPE is a grouping of experiments, experiment

classes, or research activities characterized by being mutually supportive

of a particular discipline of research or investigation or by imposing similar

and related demands on the support systems.

Tables 2-1 through 2-4 (from Ref. 1) summarize the Blue Book experiment

requirements. Table 2-1 summarizes the requirements for each FPE except

for Fluid Management and EVA, which cannot be summarized at the FPE level

due to either the complex and diverse nature of the facility requirements or

the uniqueness of each experiment set-up or operation. Summary data for

these two FPEs are presented in Table 2-3 (for Fluid Management) and

Table 2-4 (for EVA). Table 2-2 lists required crew skills and their code

numbers as used in Table 2-1.

25

Page 23: Advanced Missions Safety - NASAATR-72(7316-01)-1 Vol. HI-2 ADVANCED MISSIONS SAFETY VOLUME III - APPENDICES Part 2, Experiment Safety - Supporting Analyses Prepared by Systems Planning

Specific experiment equipment, support equipment, and materials used in the

conduct of the experiments are delineated in Section 3.

2 . 1 . 2 SOAR Study Definitions

Task 1 of the SOAR study (Ref. 2) had three basic elements: to assimilate

Shuttle payload data, to assess payload compatibility with Space Shuttle mis-

sion capabilities, and to select a representative payload set for detailed re-

quirements and accommodation analyses.

Candidate orbital experiment definition in terms of functional program ele-

ments (FPEs) is related to a facility or laboratory approach to orbital re-

search. In order to provide smaller packages affording greater flexibility

for short-duration Shuttle application missions, the 25 FPEs in the Blue Book

•were divided into 56 sub-FPEs, or payload elements. An example of how one

of the FPE concepts, the Space Physics Research Laboratory, was expanded

into five payload elements is shown in Table 2-5 (from Ref. 2). The resulting

56 payload elements and their relationships to the 25 FPEs in the Blue Book

are shown in Table 2-6 (from Ref. 2). These 56 payload elements plus two

indivisible FPEs (A-l and A-6) comprised the payload data base for Shuttle

orbital research in the SOAR study.

The second major class of Shuttle applications considered in the SOAR study

was the delivery, service, and retrieval of automated spacecraft. This in-

cluded operations with two types of spacecraft: operations related to free-

flying research and applications modules (RAMs) and conventional automated

orbital satellites and interplanetary spacecraft. Eight free-flying RAMs were

identified from the Blue Book (Table 2-7 from Ref. 2) and, as such, generally

include a pressurized or pressurizable compartment within •which crewmen

service the spacecraft at prescribed intervals, whereas conventional automated

spacecraft do not offer this facility.

The NASA Payload Fleet Analysis repoVt (Ref. 3) tabulates the characteristics

of 73 automated spacecraft potentially ready for flight in the 1977 to 1990 time

26

Page 24: Advanced Missions Safety - NASAATR-72(7316-01)-1 Vol. HI-2 ADVANCED MISSIONS SAFETY VOLUME III - APPENDICES Part 2, Experiment Safety - Supporting Analyses Prepared by Systems Planning

period. Of this number, four automated spacecraft (see Figure 2-1 from

Ref. 2) were chosen for the SOAR representative payload set to characterize

critical mission, design, and interface requirements on the Shuttle system;

they were also considered representative of the requirements envelope of the

full candidate spacecraft payload set.

Details concerning experiment equipment, support equipment, and materials

used in the conduct of the experiments or associated with the accommodation

of the automated spacecraft are delineated in Section 3.

2.2 ORBITER ACCOMMODATION MODES

2. 2. 1 Blue Book

As outlined in the Blue Book, experiment modules containing laboratory

facilities will operate either attached to a Space Station, attached to a Shuttle

(Shuttle-sortie mode), or will be free-flying, depending on experiment require

ments such as pointing, stabilization, g-level, etc. In this regard, the follow-

ing material is abstracted from the Blue Book (Ref . 1).

"A possible mode for accommodating experiment programsprior to or in lieu of the operational availability of a spacestation exists with the concept of using the Earth-to-OrbitSpace Shuttle as a short term orbital base for conductingexperiments. This concept evolves around the use of theShuttle and minimum additional support equipment to carryaloft research equipment and, where appropriate, scientistsand technicians, to conduct experiments during relativelyshort stay times in low earth orbit. In cases where man isnot directly required for experiment operation, such as mostastronomy observations, the concept includes leaving theequipment in orbit to accomplish the program with periodicservicing by subsequent Shuttle flights.

"The primary operating modes envisioned for Shuttle-sortieoperations, depicted in Figure 2-2, are as follows:

a. Modes where man is directly involved in the conduct ofthe experiment program. In these cases the research equip-ment is carried aloft in the Shuttle along with the necessarysupport equipment such as crew quarters, life support, anddata management provisions. In the attached modes the ex-periments are conducted during the Shuttle stay time on orbitof perhaps 5 to 30 days. The experiments would be conducted

either extended from the Shuttle payload bay, as shown, orpossibly from -within the bay. The assembly is returned toearth after completion of the 5 - to 30-day experiment program.

In the detached mode, the experiment equipment and crew areplaced in orbit by the Shuttle and retrieved after 30 to 45 daysby another Shuttle.

Two potential configurations for accommodating the crew andsupport equipment are shown in Figure 2-3. In Figure 2-3a,a separate support module is attached to the experiment module.In Figure 2-3b, the crew and support equipment are containedwithin the experiment module. Studies currently being conductedby NASA are evaluating these methods of implementation.

b. Modes where man is required only for periodic logistics,maintenance, update, or retrieval of the experiment and is notdirectly involved in conducting the experiment program. Inthese cases the experiment equipment is carried aloft by theShuttle, normally without an experiment crew, for unmannedautomated experiment operations. Two basic operating modesare considered likely:

1. The experiment equipment is placed in orbit from aShuttle to commence experiment operations; the Shuttle returnsto earth and periodically visits the experiment equipment onsubsequent flights for logistics and servicing. This mode ispictured in Figure 2-3c, which shows the servicing operation•with an astronomy module.

2. The experiment equipment is self-contained andautomated and needs only delivery to the proper orbit toaccomplish the experiment program while remaining attachedto the Shuttle, after -which it is returned to the ground. Thisconcept is depicted in Figure 2-3d. All normal servicing ofexperiment equipment would be accomplished on the groundto avoid the EVA required in the unpressurizable payload bay.

"It is likely that variations of the above basic modes will bedeveloped to meet the needs of particular experiment programs.The concept includes consideration for operations or orbitalaltitudes and inclinations other than that of the Space Stationorbit, which may be particularly beneficial to the experimentprogram, or where payload weights dictate use of a lowerenergy orbit.

"Those experiment operations 'which can be conducted in theShuttle-sortie mode will be affected by the characteristics andcapabilities of the Space Shuttle system, particularly those ofthe Shuttle Orbiter. A few'examples of these characteristicswhich must be considered are listed below. In many of these

cases, limitations of the Orbiter capabilities can be overcomeor supplemented by support equipment carried as payload, asdepicted earlier.

a. Shuttle pilots will have limited, if any, time to conduct orparticipate in experiment operations. Any significant degreeof man participation will necessitate carrying an experimentcrew as payload.

b. Shuttle systems will have limited, if any, capability to providepower, data, crew EC/LS or other support to experiment opera-tions, necessitating that these items also be provided by systemscarried as part of the payload. . . . . . .

c. Nominal stay time on orbit is 5 days. However, it is likelythat it will be possible to extend this to 30 days by carrying aspayload all the required expendables and supplies.

d. The Orbiter pointing accuracy and stability will fall shortof the requirements of some experiments, and must be providedby the support equipment carried as payload. "

2 . 2 . 2 SOAR Study

The general emphasis of the SOAR study was on early time frame Space

Shuttle missions that'were relatively austere compared to initial Shuttle

mission concepts. This led to the definition of two general mission classes

comprised of three basic system design options (presented in Figure 2-4 from

Ref. 2). The first mission class is entitled, "Sortie", and encompasses the

conduct of man-supported orbital research with the Space Shuttle Orbiter,

The design options consist of either a pallet upon which experiment equipment

is mounted, or a mission support module (MSM) within which research is con-

ducted in a pressurized environment by man. In the event that the control of

pallet-mounted equipment from within the Orbiter is undesirable or impractical

because of operational or physical considerations, an MSM can be used as

shown in the figure. Similarly, if the physical or crew limitations of an early

capability MSM are excessive for accomplishing certain advanced research, an

MSM extension module is feasible and so indicated. This could be a dedicated

experiment module, operating attached to the Orbiter/MSM. Alternatively,

the MSM extension module might be a nondedicated reconfigurable module in

which multiple or large experiment payloads could be operated or additional

crewmen could be accommodated.

The second Shuttle mission class relates to the delivery, service, and

retrieval of free-flying RAMs and conventional automated spacecraft. The

payload may include an attached propulsive stage for orbital transfer after

Shuttle delivery to low earth orbit. The design option associated -with this

mission class allows for including an MSM with the spacecraft payload, if it

is required for status displays, deployment, and retrieval controls, or service

kits.

2 . 2 . 3 Present Study Assumptions _

For purposes of the present safety analysis, three basic or generic modes of

Experiment Module accommodation by the Orbiter were selected to encompass

the various options suggested in the Blue Book and the SOAR study. These

three modes and their Blue Book and SOAR counterparts are summarized in

Figure 2-5.

The first, or Pallet, mode is restricted to the case where all active experi-

ment equipment is mounted in or on an Experiment Module which remains

attached to the Orbiter and has no provisions for pressurization or volume to

permit man's participation for operation or on-orbit servicing. Therefore,

in this mode the experiment crew as well as associated displays and control

equipment must be installed in the Orbiter.

The second, or attached MSM, mode encompasses all cases where a pres-

surized mission support module, which remains attached to the Orbiter, is

included to permit man's direct participation in experiment operations. The

actual Experiment Equipment may be partially or totally contained within or

attached to the Experiment Module proper. In this mode, then, the Experi-

ment Module is required to furnish life support functions for the experiment

crew during the period(s) they are within the Module.

The third, or detached RAM, mode encompasses all cases where the Experi-

ment Module is detached from the Orbiter to accomplish its function. This

mode, then, includes both free-flying RAMs per se (manned or unmanned),

and automated spacecraft.

2. 3 GENERIC EXPERIMENT CATEGORIES

The large number of potentially applicable experiment payload elements

(56 sub-FPEs, two indivisible FPEs, eight free-flying RAMs, and 73 auto-

mated spacecraft), plus their diverse requirements with regard to design,

subsystems, destination, handling, installation, and deployment (see Tables

2-1 through 2-4), were reduced to generic experiment categories of interest

from a safety point of view, in order to facilitate the initial analysis efforts.

The SOAR study included a comprehensive assessment, extending to the

detailed sub-FPE level, of payload compatibility with Orbiter mission capa-

bilities. Table 2-8 (from Ref. 2) presents a summary of the subgroups

recommended in the SOAR study as candidates for accommodation in a limited

MSM, an MSM extension module, a Pallet, or a RAM.

With this baseline definition of subgroup accommodation compatibility, the

various subgroups were combined into generic Experiment Modules according

to scientific discipline (FPE type) and associated applicable generic mode of

accommodation (Pallet, attached MSM, or detached RAM, as denoted in

section 2 .2 .3 and Figure 2-5). The resulting group of selected generic ex-

periment categories is shown in Figure 2-6.

By this'technique, Experiment Modules of each scientific discipline are

identifed as to potentially meaningful configurational modes (i. e. , Pallet,

MSM, RAM) and as to the spectrum of FPE subgroups which may be incor-

porated within each configurational or accommodation mode.

It should be noted that the SOAR study did not specifically treat the life

science experiments related to vertebrates (LS-2), plants (LS-3), cells and

tissues (LS-4), invertebrates (LS-5), life support and protective systems ,

(LS-6), and manned system integration (LS-7) due to the short mission

duration considered in the SOAR study. For purposes of completeness, they

have been incorporated in the present study, in both the MSM and RAM

accommodation categories.

2. 4 ORBITER/EXPERIMENT MODULE INTERFACES

The principal interfaces between the Experiment Module and the Orbiter

include not only the physical means for mounting and manipulating the Module

but also the provisions for and extent of utilities or other support services

provided to the Module by the Orbiter. The following assumptions were made

in this study for the purpose of the safety analysis.

2. 4. 1 Module Mounting

It was assumed that the mounting provisions included in the Orbiter cargo

bay would:

a. be adequate to provide secure holding and protection againstexcessive shock, vibration, and.thermal loads from the Orbiterto the Module during all mission phases from ground installationto removal after flight

b. afford a clear egress path from the Orbiter crew compartmentto the Module via a hatch and tunnel between the crew compart-ment and the Orbiter cargo bay

2. 4. 2 Module Manipulation

It -was assumed that manipulator mechanisms would be provided in the Orbiter

cargo bay (in conjunction with mounting provisions) to accomplish any neces-

sary erections and retractions of the Module. In the case of MSM or RAM

configurations, the access tunnel connection between the Orbiter crew com-

partment and the Module would remain operative throughout the erection/

retraction process.

2 .4 .3 Module Utilities /Support

2 .4 .3 .1 Electrical Power

It was assumed that an active electrical power interface existed between the

Orbiter and Module. On this basis the Orbiter could furnish all or only a

small part of the electrical power required by the Module.

38

Page 36: Advanced Missions Safety - NASAATR-72(7316-01)-1 Vol. HI-2 ADVANCED MISSIONS SAFETY VOLUME III - APPENDICES Part 2, Experiment Safety - Supporting Analyses Prepared by Systems Planning

2 . 4 . 3 . 2 Life Support/Crew Systems

It was assumed that the Orbiter provided all necessary crew systems and life

support for the experiment crew except when the crew was in an MSM or RAM

Module. During these periods the Module (MSM or RAM) was assumed to

provide any necessary crew systems and life support.

2 . 4 . 3 . 3 Thermal Control

It was assumed that thermal control of the Module and its subsystems would

be accomplished with an Orbiter/Module shared fluid-radiator loop.

2 . 4 . 3 . 4 Guidance, Navigation, and Control

It was assumed that Shuttle GN&C system and thrusters would provide at least

coarse control for all Modules while attached to the Orbiter. Where the

Orbiter pointing accuracy and stability are inadequate for the nature of a

given experiment, the Module would contain the necessary sensors and control

features to accomplish the fine pointing.

Detached RAM Modules would contain integral GN&C systems appropriate for

their mission purposes.

2 . 4 . 3 . 5 Controls and Displays

It was assumed that all controls and displays necessary for the conduct of a

given Experiment would be contained within the Module, except in the case of

a Pallet configuration where such controls would necessarily be located within

the Orbiter crew compartment proper.

In all cases it was assumed that any controls and displays associated with

caution and warning systems would be duplicated in the Orbiter crew com-

partment to the extent necessary to provide for preventive or remedial actions

on the part of the Orbiter or its crew.

2 . 4 . 3 . 6 Data Management

It was assumed that all experiment data management systems would be con-

tained within the Module, except in the case of a Pallet configuration where

39

Page 37: Advanced Missions Safety - NASAATR-72(7316-01)-1 Vol. HI-2 ADVANCED MISSIONS SAFETY VOLUME III - APPENDICES Part 2, Experiment Safety - Supporting Analyses Prepared by Systems Planning

some parts of the system might necessarily be located in the Orbiter for

access by the experiment crew. Data would be transmitted to the ground for

processing by either the Module or the Orbiter, as required by the nature

of the Experiment carried.

2 . 4 . 3 . 7 Checkout System

All checkout systems, whether associated with subsystems aboard the Module

or with automated satellites, would be located within the Module. Any fault -

detection signals would be appropriately displayed in the Orbiter crew

compartment.

2 .4 .3 .8 Voice Communication

It was assumed that voice communication links would be provided:

a. between the Orbiter control station and each mannedhabitable compartment of the Module

b. between manned habitable compartments of the Module

3. HAZARD ANALYSIS

3. 1 GENERAL

A hazard analysis was performed to identify and assess the emergency-causing

potential of the various Experiments and their associated equipment; this

included hazardous interactions arising from interfaces with the Orbiter as well

as interfaces between Experiment Equipment and other payloads likely to be

simultaneously carried.

This analysis activity was keyed to:

a. identifying potential sources of basic hazards, in terms ofExperiment Equipment characteristics or operations attendantto operation of the equipment or performing the Experiment

b. identifying those causative events/factors/conditions whichcould arise from or combine with a basic hazard source toproduce a hazardous result

c. delineating potentially hazardous results arising from theoccurrence of the forcing function (causative event/factor/condition)

d. summarizing the spectrum of potential emergency situationswhich could arise from implementing experiment programsin concert with the Space Shuttle Orbiter

3.2 EXPERIMENT MODULES

3.2 .1 Hazard Source Identification

Each of the generic Experiment Modules selected in section 2.3 (see

Figure 2-6) was examined in detail as to the basic types of Experiment Equip-

ment likely to be employed, possible support requirements in terms of both

additional equipment and operational needs, expected operating power levels,

and nominal GSE and facility utility requirements for installation purposes.

The primary source for this level of definition was the sub-FPE descriptive

material contained in the SOAR study (Ref. 4).

41

Page 39: Advanced Missions Safety - NASAATR-72(7316-01)-1 Vol. HI-2 ADVANCED MISSIONS SAFETY VOLUME III - APPENDICES Part 2, Experiment Safety - Supporting Analyses Prepared by Systems Planning

Figure 3-1 illustrates the type of information provided by this examination

effort, in this example, for the Astronomy Module configured in the Attached

MSM mode. Similar information for each of the 20 generic experiment cate-

gory modules selected for examination (from Figure 2-6) are contained in

Tables 3-1 through 3-20.

Each generic module class was then examined to determine what particular

equipment (experiment or support), related materials, or operations associ-

ated with it might be a hazard source because of inherent characteristics.

Figure 3-2 illustrates typical results, again for the Astronomy Module con-

figured in the Attached MSM mode. Similar information for all 20 generic

Experiment Module categories are contained in Tables 3-21 through 3-31.

Finally, all resulting hazard sources from all generic Experiment Modules

were consolidated to facilitate the hazards analysis by means of a single

source listing. Figure 3-3 delineates the 26 resulting hazard sources associ-

ated with equipment or related contents, and Figure 3-4 delineates the eight

hazard source areas associated with operations related to Or biter /Experiment

missions.

3 . 2 . 2 Hazard Analysis

With the foregoing definition of hazard source areas (Figures 3-3 and 3-4),

each source area, or combination thereof (where pertinent), was analyzed to

determine plausible causations leading to potentially hazardous situations.

In some cases the causation was attributed to a "condition" resulting naturally

from the inherent characteristics of Experiment Equipment, associated mate-

rials, or necessary operating conditions. For example, in this category

would be "abnormal combustion" (or combustion instability) as a causative

condition leading to fire or explosive propellant mixtures from an experiment

combustor.

In other cases the causation was attributed to a "factor," not related to the

particular Experiment Equipment characteristics, whose presence or occur-

rence combined with the equipment characteristics to produce a hazardous

condition. For example, in this category would be "mere proximity" of crew

or sensitive equipment to permeating-field devices (e.g., RF^fields, mag-

netic fields).

In still other cases the causation was attributed to an "event" whose occur-

rence was necessary, in addition to Experiment Equipment characteristics,

to produce a hazardous condition. Typical of this category would be eye

damage caused by inadvertently "looking" at the sun or at reflected sunlight

through an optical telescope, or burns resulting from "touching" of "handling"

hot surfaces.

Emphasis was placed on "causation" determination (as outlined above) not only

to assess meaningful hazardous results (and their requirements for effective

remedial actions), but also to provide the framework for later preventive

measure assessments of means for eliminating or reducing the hazards intro-

duced by the Experiment Equipment and its operation (as reported in Section 4).

The results of the hazard analysis performed in this manner are summarized

in Tables 3-32 and 3-33. Table 3-32 is a summary of hazard source, causa-

tion, and interaction results for the equipment/contents-related hazard

sources of Figure 3-3. Table 3-33 is a similar summary for the operations-

related hazard sources of Figure 3-4.

In a previous study (Ref. 5) relating to hazards associated with manned space-

craft in general, it was determined that 12 hazard/emergency groups were

sufficiently generic to meaningfully encompass all space-related hazards/

emergencies. For purposes of comparison, correlation, and insight, the

experiment-related hazard sources identified in the present study (Tables 3-32

and 3-33) were tested against this 12-group generic classification for com-

pliance and/or for the identification of new hazards. The resultant groupings

47

Page 45: Advanced Missions Safety - NASAATR-72(7316-01)-1 Vol. HI-2 ADVANCED MISSIONS SAFETY VOLUME III - APPENDICES Part 2, Experiment Safety - Supporting Analyses Prepared by Systems Planning

are shown in Table 3-34. As can be seen, the 12-group generic hazard/

emergency classes were sufficient to encompass all of the specific experi-

ment hazard sources identified in the present study; i.e., the utilization of

such Experiment Equipment or operations do not in and of themselves pose

hazards or emergencies that are different from those previously determined.

The tabulations of Table 3-34 do serve, however, to illustrate and emphasize

the extremely broad range of specific hazard sources (equipment and/or their

related operations and interfaces) which potentially exist for Space Shuttle

missions associated with in-space experiments of the types described in the

Blue Book (Ref. 1).

3.3 ORBITER

3.3.1 Hazards and Emergency Situations

Hazards and emergency situations onboard spacecraft of the general config-

uration of the Orbiter were previously examined in Ref. 5. The results of

Ref. 5 pertaining to Orbiter hazards and general emergency situations (result-

ing from the occurrence of a hazard) were adopted in the present study after

a brief confirmatory review. Figures 3-5 and 3-6 summarize the resultant

hazards and emergency situations.

3 .3 .2 Effects of Experiment Modules

The effect of incorporating Experiment Modules as Orbiter payloads is to

increase the number of potential sources of hazards because of the wide

spectrum of Experiment Equipment they contain, the involvement of man in

many experiment operations, and the many interfaces between Experiment

Equipment, the Experiment Modules, and the Orbiter. Although the basic

potential hazards which might be encountered are not increased, the source

listing is very extensive (see Table 3-34).

Another significant effect is that an MSM or RAM Experiment Module repre-

sents a separate compartment or spacecraft (with respect to the Orbiter),

which poses additional problems and/or requirements with regard to egress

(escape) and remedial aid (rescue) if emergencies should occur within the

Module which require Orbiter-generated assistance. A typical example of

the potential interactions between hazard sources, an MSM or RAM module,

and the Orbiter is indicated in Figure 3-7 for an Astronomy Module configured

in the attached MSM mode. (Similar illustrations for other Experiment Mod-

ules and modes are given in Tables 3-21 to 3-31.) As can be noted, the gen-

eral effects on the Module and/or Orbiter, in terms of condition (emergency

situation) or requirement (remedial need) fall into well recognized categories.

It is evident from the figure that many Experiments contain inherent hazard

sources (and their potential hazardous interactions) which can result in an

emergency.

3.4 SUMMARY OF POTENTIAL EMERGENCY SITUATIONS

Tables 3-35 through 3-39 summarize the potential emergency situations

which may exist for the Orbiter and Experiment Module (Pallet, attached

MSM, detached RAM) during the pre-launch, ascent, on-orbit, return, and

post-flight phases of a mission. These tables serve to highlight the nature

of potential emergencies associated with the Orbiter or Module and the

mission phases during which they could occur.

As can be noted, contamination of an Experiment Module or the Orbiter can

occur during any mission phase.

Illness or injury are of concern aboard the Orbiter during all mission phases,

and the Orbiter can become non-habitable at any time due to loss of EC/LS

supply, temperature or humidity control, etc. The same applies to an MSM

or RAM, but only during the on-orbit phase while crewmen are within.

Crew entrapment (in an airlock or module) is of importance during the on-orbit

phase where egress activities are planned. It is also of concern during the

return and post-flight phases, if a crew member has been entrapped.

EVA stranding, by its very nature, is limited to the on-orbit phase.

Inability to reenter the earth's atmosphere is restricted to the Orbiter and

the on-orbit phase.

Metabolic deprivation and inability to communicate can occur at any time

for crew members in the Orbiter, whereas crew members in the MSM or

RAM would be affected only during the on-orbit phase.

Out-of-control (tumbling, unsafe trajectory) would be a condition of concern

to the Orbiter during ascent, on-orbit, and return phases, and to the RAM

during the on-orbit phase.

Abandonment (by means of EVA) is limited to the Orbiter and RAM during

the on-orbit phase.

Debris in the vicinity and radiation in the vicinity are associated primarily

with the on-orbit phase of operation.

4. PREVENTIVE MEASURE ASSESSMENT

4. 1 HAZARD ELIMINATION/AVOIDANCE

As delineated in Section 3, a very broad spectrum of potential hazard sources

is introduced when conducting in-space experiment programs in concert with

the Space Shuttle. In order to identify possible means for eliminating hazard

sources and avoiding their occurrence, a series of preventive measure assess-

ments were performed. These assessments were based on the inherent hazard

source lists (Figure 3-3 and 3-4) and were keyed to the causative events/

factors/conditions as described in Tables 3-32 and 3-33.

The approach followed in the assessment was to graphically display and relate

a basic hazard source and its attendant causations (events, factors, conditions)

to a subjective analysis, and the assessment of meaningful measures which

could potentially:

a. prevent a hazardous condition from occurring

b. avoid undertaking a particular potentially hazards event or act

c. separate non-experiment-related factors from association withthe experiment process

Three broad basic areas were selected to provide the framework and focus for

the investigative analysis:

a. Design features

b. Locational features

c. Operational techniques

Measures in these areas, whose implementation could either eliminate or

avoid a hazard, or alleviate the results of its occurrence, were then identified.

The above techniques are illustrated in Figure 4-1 for the case of laser

equipment and related operations. In the case illustrated it can be seen

that six measures were identified in the design features area, three measures

in the locational features area, and two measures with regard to operational

techniques.

For the total hazard source spectrum so analyzed, a total of 23 general mea-

sures pertaining to design features, six measures related to locational fea-

tures, and 10 measures related to operational techniques were identified.

Figure 4-2 summarizes these 39 measures, or potential means which should

be considered for eliminating or avoiding experiment-related hazards.

The formulation of methods of implementing or using such preventive mea-

sures is presented in Section 5 in terms of statements which express the

measure and relate it to the pertinent or example experiment equipments

and/or operations to which each preventive measure could apply.

5. PREVENTIVE MEASURE STATEMENTS

The following preventive measure statements are summary expressions which

serve to highlight and emphasize areas deserving further consideration in

order to enhance in-space experiment safety. More specifically, the state- •

ments are directed to future NASA space programs involving the use of the

Space Shuttle to transport and facilitate in-space scientific Experiments;.

These preventive measure statements are the result of, and were initially

identified in, the series of preventive measure assessments described pre-

viously in Section 4. For convenience of presentation and utilization, the

statements are grouped in the general areas of (1) design features, (2) loca-

tional features, and (3) operational procedures, which were the selected areas

of investigation in the preventive measure assessment activity. Within each

of these general areas, the statements are further categorized according to

distinctive sub-levels whose title or heading is suggestive of the key or prin-

cipal safety-related criteria contained in the statement.

Where appropriate, the statement (or accompanying example of equipment/*

experiment/condition exemplifying the statement's intent) contains a reference

to the particular Hazard/Emergency Analysis and Safety Criteria Summary

Sheet of Table 5-1. This table contains, for each hazard source area of

Figures 3-3 and 3-4, a summarization of pertinent causation factors, poten-

tially hazardous results, and the spectrum of preventive measures applicable

to the hazard source area.

It is emphasized that the statements in a given area, e. g. , in the design fea-

tures area, in many cases are not singular solutions, but require corollary

or complementary considerations in the locational features and operational

technique areas. For example, if an item were to be designed for jettisoning

Reference by "H" number, e.g., "H-l" refers to Table 5-1, H-l.

59

Page 56: Advanced Missions Safety - NASAATR-72(7316-01)-1 Vol. HI-2 ADVANCED MISSIONS SAFETY VOLUME III - APPENDICES Part 2, Experiment Safety - Supporting Analyses Prepared by Systems Planning

its location could be important to facilitate jettisoning, and the conditions

under which the jettisoning operation should be implemented should be defined.

Therefore, for completeness of thought and purpose, in cases where a safety-

related issue has reasonable implications in more than just the design area

it may also be separately stated as a safety consideration in the locational

and operational technique areas, as appropriate.

It is also emphasized that the statements in some cases are addressed to only

one of several possible approaches to enhancing safety in a given potentially

hazardous situation. In still other cases some! statements may be conflicting

(with respect to each other or Experiment requirements) under certain condi-

tions. Trade-off analyses would have to be performed to determine the most

satisfactory, solution in each instance. These trade-off analyses were beyond

the scope of the present study.

Further, the preventive measures are not presented in order of absolute value

as safety measures. Generally accepted safety practice indicates, however,

that the order of preference that should be followed in applying them is:

a. Design features to eliminate the hazard

b. Design features to control the hazard

c. Use of protective safety devices

d. Use of warning devices

e. Implementation of operational procedures

The level of detail in the preventive measure assessment, in many cases,

was sufficient to overlap to a certain degree with generalized spacecraft

safety criteria, even though the present analysis was restricted to identifying

experiment-related safety criteria. Typical overlap areas included:

a. Electrical systems (cable insulation, connectors, grounding,power distribution paths, redundancy, shielding, routing, etc.)

b. Airlocks (mechanical design, materials, sealing provisions,etc. )

c. Vent systems (valves, regulators, location, pressure-relief, etc.)

60

Page 57: Advanced Missions Safety - NASAATR-72(7316-01)-1 Vol. HI-2 ADVANCED MISSIONS SAFETY VOLUME III - APPENDICES Part 2, Experiment Safety - Supporting Analyses Prepared by Systems Planning

d. Pressurized containers storing gases or liquids (valves,regulators, pressure-relief, vents, etc.)

e. Batteries (electrolyte containment, venting, etc.)

f. Solid propellants (safing, arming, etc.)

g. Minimum number of egress ports in a manned habitablecompartment

h. EVA

Safety practice areas in the above categories are referred to in the general

sense only in the following statements, which are supplementary to generally

accepted safety criteria for manned space flight equipment and operational

procedures.

Specific attention is directed to other recent studies conducted for NASA which

resulted in safety criteria which may be directly applicable to experiment

and/or accommodating vehicle safety considerations and which should be con-

sidered by experiment designers, mission planners, etc. These include:

a. The Prevention of Electrical Breakdown in Spacecraft .,(Ref. 6)

b. Safety in Earth Orbit Study (Ref. 7 ,8,9,10)

c. Manned Space Flight Nuclear System Safety (Ref. 11)

d. Space Station Safety Study (Ref. 12)

e. Space Station Study, Experiment Safety (Ref. 13)

Four other documents, even though not specifically safety-oriented, should

also be of value:

a. Space Shuttle Baseline Accommodation for Payloads (Ref. 14)

b. Shuttle Orbiter/Payloads Monitor and Control Interface(Ref. 15)

c. Assessment and Control of Spacecraft ElectromagneticInterference (Ref. 16)

d. Shuttle Orbiter Applications and Requirements, Phase II(SOAR) (Ref. 17)

Sections 5. 1, 5. 2,and 5. 3 present the preventive measure statements developed

for the areas of design features, locational features, and operational techniques,

61

Page 58: Advanced Missions Safety - NASAATR-72(7316-01)-1 Vol. HI-2 ADVANCED MISSIONS SAFETY VOLUME III - APPENDICES Part 2, Experiment Safety - Supporting Analyses Prepared by Systems Planning

respectively. These sections relate the complete statement including the

purpose or rationale for the statement (where not self-evident), any qualifying

conditions, and representative illustrations of equipment/experiments/condi-

tions which serve to illustrate or exemplify the intent of the statement. The

formulation of selected measures into summary Safety Guidelines is presented

in Tables 4-1 and 4-2 of Volume II, Part 2.

6. REMEDIAL MEASURE ASSESSMENT

6. 1 POTENTIALLY UNRESOLVED HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS

Regardless of the care and attention given to spacecraft design and redundancy

features, and despite the incorporation of meaningful preventive measures,

hazardous situations can and will occur in space operations. This prospect is

as applicable to in-space experiment programs as to any other space activity.

In order to identify possible means for remedying the situation after the occur-

rence of a hazard, a series of remedial measure assessments was performed.

These assessments were based on the inherent hazard source lists (Figures

3-3 and 3-4) and were keyed to the potentially hazardous results as described

in Tables 3-32 and 3-33.

The approach followed in the assessment was to graphically display and relate

a basic hazard source and its attendant hazardous results to a subjective

analysis and assessment of meaningful measures which could potentially:

a. prevent further propagation of a hazard

b. neutralize the effects of a hazardous occurrence

c. provide needed:

1. physical aid

2. medical aid

3. metabolic sustenance

d. provide for transfer to a haven of safety, if required

The analysis was focused on identifying both remedial equipment and its

associated operational or functional requirements in the above areas.

The assessment technique is illustrated in Figure 6-1 for the case of over-

board vent malfunctions and related experiment operations. In the case

illustrated, four equipment-related measures and three operations-related

measures were identified.

For the total hazard source spectrum so analyzed, a total of 11 basic

remedial need areas were identified. Table 6-1 summarizes these 11

categories and indicates their applicability with regard to the 12 hazard/

emergency groups presented in section 3.2.2.

The formulation of methods of implementing such remedial measures is

presented in section 6.2 in terms of statements which delineate potential

equipment and operational requirements and relate them to pertinent or

example hazardous situations to which each remedial measure may apply.

6.2 REMEDIAL MEASURE STATEMENTS

The following remedial measure statements are summary expressions which

emphasize areas deserving further consideration in order to enhance in-space

experiment safety. Specifically, they refer to particular features or provisions

of remedial measures which should be given consideration during the configura-

tion selection and design process associated with scientific experiments in

connection with the Space Shuttle Orbiter.

These remedial measures were initially identified in the series of remedial

measure assessments described in section 6. 1. For convenience of presenta-

tion the remedial measure statements are grouped according to the basic

remedial need areas of Table 6-1.

Where appropriate, the remedial measure statement (or accompanying example

of equipment/experiment/condition exemplifying the statement intent) contains

a reference to the particular Hazard/Emergency Analysis and Safety Criteria

Summary Sheet of Table 5-1, which contains the basic hazard/emergency

assessment used to form the basis of the remedial need.

It is emphasized that the remedial measures, as stated, in many cases are not

singular remedies, but require corollary or complementary activities. For

example, if a crew member were injured and required medical aid, there may

also be the requirement for emergency access equipment to reach the injured

party and the need for crew aid and retrieval personnel and equipment to effect

his transfer to another compartment or spacecraft module. The formulation of

selected remedial measures into summary Safety Guidelines is presented in

Table 4-3 of Volume II, Part 2.

7. EXPERIMENT INTERACTION SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Performing experiments in connection with the Space Shuttle Orbiter could

result in emergency situations of well-recognized categories. The presence of

Experiment Equipment and its operations does not cause hazards that are sig-

nificantly different from previously known space hazards. It does, however,

introduce an extremely broad range of specific hazard sources which are

additive to the hazards inherent in space operations.

The number of discrete hazards that can occur due to equipment or operation

of any experiment class (FPE) is related to.the nature of the Experiment.

Materials Science and Manufacturing Experiment Modules, for example, have

more equipment of a hazardous nature than Earth Survey Experiment Modules.

This class-to-class differentiation loses significance, however, when multiple

experiment categories are integrated into any one Experiment Module. The

definition of hazards with their resultant potential emergency situations have

to be based on the equipment that will actually be used. The synergistic

effects and the interactions between Experiment, Module, and Orbiter equip-

ment and instrumentation must be considered in order to reach a complete

definition of potential hazards and emergency situations attributable to a

specific Experiment.

The discussions in Section 3 regarding parameters affecting experiment safety

were necessarily directed to first-order effects because the Experiments and

their interfaces are not completely defined at present. Equally important

from a safety standpoint are the hazards arising from less well defined poten-

tial interactions due to the integration of the diverse Experiment Equipment.

This section discusses interactions involving an Experiment and its operational

equipment that could have an impact on the safety of the crew and the Orbiter.

7. 1 EXPERIMENT-TO-EXPERIMENT INTERACTIONS

Within a given scientific discipline, such as Astronomy, the number and

characteristics of hazard sources varies as a function of the accommodation

101

Page 97: Advanced Missions Safety - NASAATR-72(7316-01)-1 Vol. HI-2 ADVANCED MISSIONS SAFETY VOLUME III - APPENDICES Part 2, Experiment Safety - Supporting Analyses Prepared by Systems Planning

mode (Pallet, MSM, or RAM). The number and types of scientific equipment

which can be carried and operated depend on the available volume, weight

limitation, and capacity for pressurization, thermal control, contamination

control, etc. For multiple-experiment missions, there is also the variation

in scientific and supporting equipment required for the different Experiments.

The hazards associated with the Experiments and their equipment, as shown

in Tables 3-32 and 3-33, lead to a formidable list of potential emergencies.

The less demanding Experiments (in terms of both experiment and support

equipment) produce fewer hazards, while more complex or multiple-

experiment combinations produce a greater number of potential hazards.

In addition to the hazard sources that exist for any discrete scientific Experi-

ment Equipment, interference with other scientific or operational equipment

can endanger safety. For example, field-coupling effects (magnetic, RF,

nuclear, etc. ), -which could produce synergistic interactions, and thus could

activate or deactivate sensors, detectors, or control loops of other Experi-

ment Equipment, could result in:

a. Hazardous component/subsystem malperformance

b. Erroneous sequencing of hazardous equipment operation

c. Requirement for manual experiment operator control (to avoidhazardous occurrence) at a time when an operator is not availablefor such control

d. Overloading of electrical power system

e. Inadvertent start-up and/or shut-down of multiple ExperimentEquipment

7.2 EXPERIMENT-TO-MODULE INTERACTIONS

Emergency situations could also be produced by interactions which are

related to equipment configuration and placement within the Experiment

Module (Pallet, MSM, RAM, etc. ) in which the equipment is carried and

operated. Therefore, consideration must be given to:

a. The density of packaging of Experiment Equipment within aModule

102

Page 98: Advanced Missions Safety - NASAATR-72(7316-01)-1 Vol. HI-2 ADVANCED MISSIONS SAFETY VOLUME III - APPENDICES Part 2, Experiment Safety - Supporting Analyses Prepared by Systems Planning

b. The environment within the Module (i. e., pressurized orunpressurized)

c. Placement relative to Module (i. e. , whether "inside" Moduleor attached "externally")

d. Degree of reliance on sensors, detectors, control loops, etc.,which are experiment-specific equipment, or which are centralequipment provided by the Module or the Orbiter

e. Effects of special remedial means included in the Module (e. g. ,special fire detection and suppression equipment)

f. Start-up and shut-down procedures

The conduct of scientific experiments in ground laboratories devoted to a

variety of experiments generally allows separation of the different Experiment

Equipment, provision for protective enclosures or walls between equipment

and operators, and isolation of caution and warning detectors as well as con-

trol loops from the primary power source and experiment control systems

and stations.

The comparatively small volume available for Experiment Equipment within

a Module aboard the Space Shuttle Orbiter suggests centralization of auxiliary

equipment, such as central power conditioning and control units, data process-

ing units, caution and warning detectors and alarm systems, etc. , in order

to maximize the number of experiment packages and equipment for any

Module and mission. Such an approach is justifiable because it minimizes

costs and maximizes the scope of experiment activity that can be undertaken

during any one space mission. It could, however, lead to a safety problem

because of interactions. Wall-to-wall experiment and control equipment,

with its potential for hazardous interactions and synergistic effects, suggests

that a careful and systematic systems integration approach for Modules

housing Experiment Equipment should be followed.

7.3 EXPERIMENT-TO-ORBITER INTERACTIONS

The hazard-causing potential of Experiment Equipment can also provide inter-

actions with the Orbiter operational equipment and cause direct hazards due

to potential synergistic effects on diverse equipment within a Module or the

Orbiter.

103

Page 99: Advanced Missions Safety - NASAATR-72(7316-01)-1 Vol. HI-2 ADVANCED MISSIONS SAFETY VOLUME III - APPENDICES Part 2, Experiment Safety - Supporting Analyses Prepared by Systems Planning

All of the subsystems essential for the safety and well-being of the Orbiter

and its crew can be detrimentally affected by Experiment Equipment either

directly or indirectly, regardless of the location of the equipment. For

example, the electrical power system could be overloaded or rendered in-

operable; communications with other spacecraft and the ground could be

interrupted or cut; the Orbiter guidance and navigation system could be

rendered inaccurate or ineffective, etc.

During experiment operations the orientation of the Experiment Module and

Experiment Equipment with respect to the Orbiter is of importance. For

example, the efflux from overboard vents could contaminate the cargo bay

and/or sensitive Orbiter elements (lenses, sensors, etc. ).

7.4 INTERACTION SUMMARY

The experiment program foresees a large variety of Experiments aboard the

Space Shuttle on any one flight. The multitude of interactions between the

Experiment Equipment, and its operations, Accommodation Modules, experi-

menters, and Shuttle Orbiter operational equipment and crew creates many

potential hazards. Malfunctioning Experiment Equipment presents discrete

hazard sources; the potential hazards created by them could propagate to

other Experiment Equipment and supporting equipment and to operational

equipment of the Accommodating Module and the Orbiter.

Implementation of effective preventive or remedial measures to eliminate or

reduce to an acceptable level the safety risk of such experiment-related

hazards requires an integrated system approach. Such an approach demands

the preparation and coordination of failure mode and effect analyses and

safety plans which reflect the interfaces between the Experiment Equipment

and other systems on board every individual Orbiter flight. Such plans

must identify and consider all potential hazards introduced by the mutual

interactions of:

a. All Experiment Equipment and its operation

104

Page 100: Advanced Missions Safety - NASAATR-72(7316-01)-1 Vol. HI-2 ADVANCED MISSIONS SAFETY VOLUME III - APPENDICES Part 2, Experiment Safety - Supporting Analyses Prepared by Systems Planning

b. All supporting equipment (central controls, displays, detectors,etc.) installed in the Accommodating Module (e.g., Pallet, MSM,RAM, etc. ) and its operation

c. Subsystems and Experiment support equipment of the Orbiter(e. g. , cargo bay doors, deployment and retrieval mechanisms,electrical power system, venting system, EC/LS, communica-tions system, etc. )

d. Operations required for performing particular Experiments(e .g . , setup, deployment, retrieval, disposal, EVA, mainte-nance and repair, etc. )

The above effort must be carried out at three system levels, all of which

must consider the Experiment Equipment operation. The first of these levels

is the Experiment Equipment design level which must include considerations

of operational safety. The second level is the integration of the Experiment

Equipment carried and operated within the Accommodation Module. The

third level is the integration of the Accommodation Module with the Space

Shuttle Orbiter. The second and third levels must consider the stowed and

deployed modes of the Accommodation Module and must consider the full

spectrum of potential hazards created by the Experiments carried aboard the

Orbiter and operated within it or nearby. These hazards should include

considerations of synergistic effects.

Included in all the above system levels, but particularly on the second and

third levels, are considerations such as the choice of the central or multiple

use of the control, conditioning, and detection systems (e .g . , fire, leak, and

contamination detection, etc. ). This choice must be based on safe operation

under the diverse conditions arising during simultaneous operation of several

Experiments and operational Orbiter equipment (either planned or accidentally).

If there is the possibility that under certain combined operations a spurious

signal could result in a false caution or warning alarm, such particular opera-

tional modes should be excluded, or flagged for special considerations, such

as selected operating time schedules.

105

Page 101: Advanced Missions Safety - NASAATR-72(7316-01)-1 Vol. HI-2 ADVANCED MISSIONS SAFETY VOLUME III - APPENDICES Part 2, Experiment Safety - Supporting Analyses Prepared by Systems Planning

Other considerations include damage control, safety trade-offs, jettisoning

or dumping of hazardous equipment or materials, contingency plans, etc.

The contingency plans, which must be established for every Space Shuttle

Orbiter/Experiment Payload configuration, must include the planned emer-

gency shutdown of equipment, consideration of the periods during which

several (planned) Experiments will be in progress, emergency backout pro-

cedures, etc.

8. SUMMARY

Manned missions being considered for the future include the implementation

of a wide variety of scientific and application payloads. Current definitions

of a broad-based experiment program are portrayed and summarized in the

Blue Book. Specific spacecraft designs which incorporate and implement

some types of experiments are currently in progress. It is expected that

additional experimental spacecraft designs will evolve in concert with experi-

ment program implementation planning.

A basic element for such experiment missions is the Space Shuttle, used not

only for transportation to and recovery from low earth orbit, but also for

payload deployment and retrieval and as a primary base of operations for

an attached experiment payload. The identification of potential emergency

situations created by carrying such Experiment Equipment aboard the Space

Shuttle and the indentification of Safety Guidelines for eliminating or reducing

hazards introduced by the Experiment Equipment and its operation was the

subject of this study.

This section provides a summary overview of some of the significant results

presented in detail throughout the report.

8. 1 INTERACTION CONSIDERATIONS

The wide spectrum of potential Experiment Equipment, operations, and modes

of accommodation inherent in a broad-based Space Shuttle experiment program

results in a large number of potentially hazardous interactions between

Experiment Equipment, experimenters, Accommodating Modules, and the

Orbiter. Experiment Equipment and its attendant operational requirements

represent discrete hazard sources which can propagate to other equipment

(experimental or supportive) within the Accommodating Module or to the

Orbiter proper, depending upon the nature of the hazardous occurrence.

107

Page 103: Advanced Missions Safety - NASAATR-72(7316-01)-1 Vol. HI-2 ADVANCED MISSIONS SAFETY VOLUME III - APPENDICES Part 2, Experiment Safety - Supporting Analyses Prepared by Systems Planning

Implementation of effective preventive or remedial measures to eliminate

or reduce to an acceptable level the safety risk of such experiment-related

hazards requires an integrated system approach for every individual

Orbiter flight. Such an integration effort must be carried out at three

system levels:

1. The Experiment Equipment design level which must includeconsiderations of integration and operational safety

2. The integration of the Experiment Equipment carried andoperated within the Accommodation Module

3. The integration of the Accommodation Module with the SpaceShuttle Orbiter

The second and third levels must consider the stowed and deployed modes of

the Accommodation Module and must consider the full spectrum of potential

hazards created by the Experiments carried aboard the Orbiter and operated

within it or nearby, including their synergistic effects.

Other considerations include damage control, safety trade-offs, jettisoning or

dumping of hazardous equipment or materials, contingency plans, etc. The

contingency plans, which must be established for every Space Shuttle Orbiter/

Experiment Payload configuration, must include the planned emergency shut-

down of equipment, consideration of the periods during which several (planned)

Experiments will be in progress, emergency backout procedures, etc.

8.2 ACCOMMODATION MODE CONSIDERATIONS

Nine basic or generic Experiment Module categories were examined for Experi-

ment Equipment, contents, and related operational requirements. The specific

equipment and operational requirements of these generic Experiment Module

categories are influenced by the mode of accommodation of the module by the .

Orbiter. Accommodation modes examined included:

a. attached MSM mode

b. detached RAM mode

c. attached Pallet mode

108

Page 104: Advanced Missions Safety - NASAATR-72(7316-01)-1 Vol. HI-2 ADVANCED MISSIONS SAFETY VOLUME III - APPENDICES Part 2, Experiment Safety - Supporting Analyses Prepared by Systems Planning

In some instances all accommodation modes are applicable to a single generic

experiment category; the required Orbiter support functions, however, vary

with the accommodation mode. Thus, one accommodation mode approach is

not necessarily a competitive alternate to the other modes. Instead, selection

would be made on the basis of whether the entire capability represented by the

specific accommodation mode is desired and whether two or more experi-

ment categories are to be simultaneously carried by the Orbiter.

During non-operational periods (i.e., Experiment Equipment and support

equipment in quiescent state during transport to and from orbit), the mode

of accommodation would not appear to be a significant variable with regard

to hazardous occurrences in that all Experiment Modules are'located within

the Orbiter Cargo bay.

During on-orbit operational periods (i.e., when actual experimentation is

taking place), the attached modes of accommodation (Pallet, MSM) would

appear to represent a significantly higher hazard source level than the

detached RAM mode (for the same Experiment Equipment contents). This

is due solely to their attachment to and dependence on (in some cases) the

Orbiter.

8.3 HAZARDS AND EMERGENCY SITUATIONS

The use of the Space Shuttle Orbiter for in-space experiment programs could

result in the occurrence of emergency situations requiring remedial aid of

well-recognized categories. The presence of Experiment Equipment and its

attendant operations do not, in and of themselves, pose basic hazards that

are significantly different from previously determined space hazards. They

do, however, constitute an extremely broad range of specific hazard sources

which are additive to the inherent hazard sources existing in space operations

in general.

The number of discrete hazard sources for a single Experiment class (FPE)

is related to the nature of the Experiment. Materials Science and Manufactur-

ing Experiment Modules, for example, have more hazardous equipment and

109

Page 105: Advanced Missions Safety - NASAATR-72(7316-01)-1 Vol. HI-2 ADVANCED MISSIONS SAFETY VOLUME III - APPENDICES Part 2, Experiment Safety - Supporting Analyses Prepared by Systems Planning

contents than Earth Survey Experiment Modules. This class-to-class differ-

entiation loses primary significance, however, when multiple experiment

categories are considered for integration in a single Experiment Module.

The definition of hazard sources and resultant potential emergency situations

for such cases have to be based on the specific Experiment Equipment that

will actually be used. Again, the synergistic effects of adjacent operational

equipment and the interfaces between equipment, the Accommodating Module,

and the Orbiter must be included for a complete definition of hazards and

emergency situations attributable to a specific Experiment Module and Orbiter

mission.

8.4 PREVENTIVE MEASURES

An extensive listing of preventive measures was identified which, if method-

ically applied, could result in the elimination of the hazard sources or the

avoidance of their occurrence. These measures treated the Experiment Mod-

ule, scientific and support equipment, and any ancillary contents or materials

required on the conduct of the experiments. The measures identified design

features, provisions, locational features, and operational techniques which

should be given consideration and traded-off during the configuration selec-

tion and design process.

The formulation of these measures into summary Safety Guideline statements

serving to emphasize these areas deserving of further consideration as pre-

ventive measures is presented in detail in Volume II, Part 2.

It is emphasized that these measures are not complete solutions, in and of

themselves, for the prevention of hazardous occurrences. Rather, they are

both general and specific items which should be fully addressed, treated, and

traded-off during the origination and coordination phases of the development

of failure analyses and safety plans attendant to the system integration of

in-space experiments with the Space Shuttle.

110

Page 106: Advanced Missions Safety - NASAATR-72(7316-01)-1 Vol. HI-2 ADVANCED MISSIONS SAFETY VOLUME III - APPENDICES Part 2, Experiment Safety - Supporting Analyses Prepared by Systems Planning

Effective consideration of all viable preventive measures is especially

important if the trend develops to configure Experiment Modules with the

maximum possible number of experiment and supportive equipments per

given Module volume. Not only are the number of discrete hazard sources

per Module increased in this case, but the possibility of interactive or

synergistic reactions may also be increased.

8.5 REMEDIAL MEASURES

Ten basic remedial measures were identified which could result in remedying

an emergency situation after the occurrence of a hazard. These measures

were selected on the basis of the potential to:

a. prevent further propagation of a hazard

b. neutralize the effects of a hazardous occurrence

c. provide needed:

(1) physical aid

(2) medical aid

(3) metabolic sustenance

d. provide for transfer to a haven of safety, if required

The identified remedial measures encompassed both remedial equipment and

their associated operational or functional requirements in the areas listed in

Table 6-1.
