Project
Description: |
Personnel from NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center and Edwards Air Force Base conducted a training exercise on May 5, 2007, that would enable them to effectively handle the rescue of a space shuttle crew in the unlikely event of a landing mishap at the base. The exercises are held periodically to train Air Force fire/rescue and medical crews in aiding the shuttle crew in exiting the shuttle after a simulated landing mishap on or near the Edwards runway, escaping from the mishap area, and after triage assessment, safely evacuating injured crew members. Although NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida is the landing site of choice for space shuttle missions, Edwards AFB remains the primary alternate landing site in case weather or other situations preclude Florida as a landing option. |
