In Space Rescue: Ensuring the Safety of Manned Spacecraft,
author David J. Shayler reviews the development of crew survival
and escape methods from the earliest designs of manned spacecraft
to the current discussions of systems for ISS and on to the future
prospect of sending men and women out towards Mars.
David Shayler reviews the numerous proposed systems of crew
rescue and also analyses the adopted systems of ejection seats,
escape towers and abort profiles during the ascent from Earth to
space, including the safety requirements and contingency procedures
available during various mission profiles to get the crew safely
back to Earth. The author also examines the various wilderness
training programs and abort simulations used to help prepare the
crews for almost any unplanned and emergency contingency they may
face during their mission.
