- Abstract
- The design of the Mobile Quarantine Facility (MQF) included practical applications of advancements in technology by the use of fire-retardant materials and flame-resistant coatings. Of particular interest is the use of Fluorel coating to protect materials from burning. This coating is flame resistant and can be applied readily to flammable substrates by the use of existing commercial painting equipment and techniques. The Appllo 11 and 12 missions required biological isolation of the astronauts and, thus, use of this facility.
