| Incapacitated EVA Crewmember Translation |
| DTO 675 |
| Overview |
|
The objective of this DTO is to verify techniques to allow an extravehicular activity (EVA) crewmember to return an incapacitated EVA crewmember to the Shuttle airlock. The DTO will be manifested on several Shuttle missions to allow the evaluation of a number of techniques to determine the most efficient. The evaluations will be conducted in the orbiter payload bay or on ISS so that the results of the DTO can be applicable to the ISS as well as the shuttle. Success will be defined as the ability to translate the equivalent length of the payload bay (at a minimum) and into the airlock safely, i.e., without posing additional risk to the crew, spacesuit, or vehicle. |
