Record 4 2000-07-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Industrial Design
DEF

Testing for pilot production samples.

CONT

Pilot run product testing. ... testing of the pilot run must do more than establish that the product meets applicable industry standards. It must also meet or exceed the performance requirements set when the product originated.

OBS

The word "pilot" implies entry into production and not full-scale, high-volume levels. This is true in most product areas because it is a transition from the small-scale prototype building often done by model makers or technicians to the large-scale production done by production workers and equipment.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Dessin industriel
OBS

Modèles de présérie du produit. Un modèle de présérie est [...] fabriqué en série relativement petite dans le but de mettre en évidence les problèmes pratiques [...] rencontrées au cours de la fabrication [...]

Subject field(s)
  • Space Centres
  • Space Exploration Equipment and Tools
CONT

Environmental Control Systems Trainer. Additional training in the operation of the environmental control system was provided by the environmental control systems trainer which was a heavy shell mock-up with a prototype spacecraft environmental system. The device used was delivered to NASA in November 1960 and installed in a man-rated vacuum chamber at the U. S. Naval Air Crew Equipment Laboratory in Philadelphia(fig. 10-1(1)). During December of 1960 and January of 1961, the astronauts participated in a program of system familiarization that included being exposed to a simulated reentry heat pulse and approximately 2 hours of the expected postlanding temperature. During these runs, the astronauts wore the pressure suits and became familiar with function of the suits when associated with the environmental control system. However, since a provision had been made for simulating the suit function in the procedures trainer, this type of training was not considered essential This was particularly true since the astronauts received further first-hand familiarization to the environmental control system by participating in the preflight checkout of the spacecraft environmental control system at the launch site.
