- Abstract
- In order to accommodate manned thermal-vacuum testing of the Apollo-Soyuz docking module (ASDM), modifications to the facility, cleanliness and access control, and special test equipment were required. Facility modifications discussed briefly include: the addition of an oxygen supply system; the modification of manlock (ML) piping for cleaning and access controls; the upgrading of a ML fire suppression system; and the addition of a garment donning station for cleanliness control. Special test equipment was discussed.
