BIO 102 Suborbital: Aviation Survival & Egress Training EBD (ASET2)

Integrated Spaceflight Services in cooperation with Survival Systems USA, Groton US, 3-7 April 2017.

Spacecraft Egress, Sea Survival, Rescue Operations

Matt Harasymczuk (PL) Sarah Jane Pell (AU), Aaron Persad (CA) Brien Posey (US)

The first professional education course on the landing and post-landing phase of crewed spacecraft missions. The focus of this course is on the system engineering associated with the landing and post-landing phase of manned space missions. We dive into mission contingency analyses to understand and appreciate the variety of post-landing environments that might exist, the types of post-landing failures that can drive an emergency egress, and the evolution of egress procedures. It is immersive and practical with donning, dunking, ditching, bracing and waving. A Core Module of the Project PoSSUM Curriculum delivered by Dr. Jason Reimuller (following AST 101: Advanced PoSSUM Academy) and in support of Final Frontier Design bioastronautics research and creative research into Performing Astronautics.
