The suits are maintained and tested before use to make sure that they are in good condition. In the unlikely event that there was a problem with the suit, then the astronaut would return to the safety of the vehicle. ---- Answer provided by Futron Corporation Image:K2S logosmall.jpg Question and Answer extracted from the book Kids to Space - by Lonnie Schorer

... were limited by propulsion capabilities designed into the vehicle and also by what the actual failure was. Primarily I was working trajectory simulations and in the emergency or abort planning part ... complex thing and it’s hard to walk through sequentially with all the possible failures and which failures could occur during different stages. In different stages of flight you could either be ... :''' Where are you teaching and what are you teaching? '''Hyle:''' I became a high school math teacher after I left NASA. I left NASA in early 1987 and started teaching in ...

Looking ... was one area where a number of people had concerns. And we had math modeled, or Barney had math modeled, and his team, the dynamics of getting the tank away from the ... are pretty well understood and modeled and have been for a long time, since launch failures where people hadn’t figured that one out going back to the Germans.

We had it ... get it all together. '''Gregory:''' We got it all together. Every time we had a failure, you always sit there and say, "Oh, jeez." We had Little Joe at Wallops Island ... , and she had to write a paper on how her family members are involved in math, how math has been a part of their lives, and with Grandpa, he's a house ...

That is, if you had an electrical failure, you would not lose your memory. … The memory consisted of little magnetic cores, and one ... , so they just kept going and going and going. If they had had a failure, a major failure, any of those flights up to Apollo 11, we would never have gone. We ... 've got to be in our department." I said, "Okay. I'll be in the math department." So I started teaching two sections of freshman calculus in 1946. And except for ...

So when I graduated from high school, I ... conscious of having backup systems and plans to control every anomaly that might happen, every failure that they could think up. You have to take your hat off to the simulation ... . We wanted to become more and more—our operational capabilities, we wanted to be more failure-tolerant so that if we had anomalies at any point in the flight, the rendezvous ...
