The Simplified Aid For EVA Rescue(SAFER) is a propulsive crew self-rescue device, worn by astronauts when conducting an extravehicular activity(EVA, or space walk) on the International Space Station(ISS) or while the Space Shuttle is docked to the Russian Mir space station. SAFER is a "mini-jetpack" that attaches to the backpack of the space suit. If an EVA astronaut accidentally becomes untethered and drifts away, he can activate SAFER and fly back to the space craft. SAFER was designed and developed by a team of engineers and EVA experts at NASA-Johnson Space Center. 5, record 2, English, - simplified%20aid%20for%20EVA%20rescue

Micro Craft's "Small" Lift Augmented Ducted Fan Air Vehicle(SLADF) has many advantages as a small UAV. The vehicle system can be designed to suit a number of performance requirements and is highly scaleable. The shroud(duct) provides unparalleled ground crew safety when contrasted to conventional open rotor designs. The small size of the SLADF permits operation aboard ships, on the ground, in urban areas, or in forested or other confined areas typical of tactical situations while enhancing survivability during flight. With a small footprint for both flight operations and stowage, valuable launch space is also optimized. 3, record 4, English, - Small%20Lift%20Augmented%20Ducted%20Fan%20Air%20Vehicle

The Extravehicular Mobility Unit(EMU) consists of an integrated Space Suit Assembly(SSA) and Life Support Subsystem(LSS) with other crew items designed for Extravehicular Activity(EVA) outside the shuttle Space Transportation System(STS) orbiter or ISS. The NASA EMU provides life support functions, such as oxygen supply, carbon dioxide removal, a pressurized enclosure, temperature control and micrometeoroid protection, so astronauts can leave their shirtsleeve environment and work effectively in space. 4, record 5, English, - extravehicular%20mobility%20unit

La combinaison qui protège les astronautes lors de leurs sorties dans l'espace compte parmi les plus importantes et plus complexes pièces d'équipement à leur disposition. Elle est en fait un mini-vaisseau spatial, capable de fournir tout ce qui est nécessaire à la vie et à la sécurité des astronautes pendant qu'ils travaillent dans le vide spatial. Connue officiellement sous le nom de scaphandre EMU (pour Extravehicular Mobility Unit), la combinaison est constituée de deux composantes principales : la combinaison spatiale comme telle (SSA, pour Space Suit Assembly) et le système de survie de base (PLSS pour Primary Life Support System). 4, record 5, French, - combinaison%20EMU

Dans l'usage, les termes «combinaison spatiale» et «scaphandre spatial» sont souvent utilisés pour désigner à la fois un générique, le «extravehicular mobility unit (EMU)» et un spécifique, le «space suit assembly», qui est une composante de l'EMU. Pour solutionner ce problème, lorsque l'on veut désigner l'EMU, il convient de spécifier «combinaison EMU» ou «scaphandre EMU». 3, record 5, French, - combinaison%20EMU

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. 2, record 6, English, - man%2Drated%20vacuum%20chamber
