Post-Brief Questions

CARBON DIOXIDE/OXYGEN SPECIALISTS Questions

  1. How did you use statistics today to solve this problem?
  2. How did you eliminate the solid chemical as a possible source of the fire?
  3. Did you run the FSS (Fire Scene Simulator) for the liquid hydrogen material?
  4. Why did all values for Carbon Dioxide output on the liquid hydrogen simulation yield zeros?
  5. What difficulties did you have in this mission today?
  6. What accomplishments did you have today?

INVESTIGATION SPECIALISTS Questions:

  1. Why did you choose the burning material that you did? How did you use statistics to arrive at this choice?
  2. How would a fire on Earth be different from a fire in a storage unit on the moon? (Take into account that the gravity in the storage unit on the moon is 1/6th that of Earth’s gravity.)
  3. How would smoke from a fire in this storage unit behave differently?
  4. What changes in fire detection and suppression would be necessary given the gravity situation on the moon?
  5. What difficulties did you have during the mission?
  6. What accomplishments did you have during the mission?

OPERATIONS SPECIALISTS Questions:

  1. Operations Specialists must handle a great deal of data reporting during this mission. How did you handle this data problem?
  2. What difficulties did you have during the mission?
  3. What accomplishments did you have during the mission?
