SPACECRAFT EGRESS AND RESCUE OPERATIONS is intended to provide spacecraft operators and designers an understanding of the risks associated with pad, ascent, landing, and post-landing phases of space missions as well as a background of the methods that have evolved throughout the history of US, Russian, and commercial space programs to best mitigate these risks. This book also presents the evolution of the planning associated with crew emergency egress and rescue operations and then presents an overview of the types of egress systems and procedures that have historically been used on manned spacecraft. An understanding of pre-launch and post-landing failures that can lead to egress operations, as with the hazardous environments that these failures might create, are investigated. Further, the uncertainties of the human factors involved with egress operations are assessed, as with managing the effects of deconditioning from long-duration spaceflight and injury potential. The book presents a method to quantify the risks associated with human factors issues, which are generally difficult to quantify. In particular, probabilities of injury, and the effects of deconditioning, injury, dynamic environment, medical factors, and entrapment on the ability of the crew to conduct critical emergency procedures are investigated.
