- Abstract
- The Apollo command module atmosphere, the environmental control system, and the criteria for selection of materials are discussed. The fire extinguisher system, with specific equipment design and fabrication modifications, are discussed. Within the limitation of present knowledge and ability, the spacecraft should be safe from the fire hazard.
