RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF UMBILICAL HOSE ASSEMBLY CONCEPTS FOR MANNED SPACE FLIGHT INCLUDING DESIGN VERIFICATION TEST REPORT REDAR-RTR-351

摘要

Several construction approaches using a variety of materials were evaluated to obtain a substantially improved umbilical hose assembly and PLSS oxygen and water hose. Flexibility and prevention of delamination were overriding design criteria. The final configuration for the umbilical hose and the PLSS hose was subjected to a Design Verification Test program. Results are contained in the accompanying report, REDAR-FTR-J51.
