Extensive study during the USAF Manned Orbiting Laboratory (MOL) Program has identified situations and conditions during the ascent phase that will force a mission abort and has led to selection of crew escape procedures based on launch vehicle and spacecraft flight performance. The success of these procedures and the assurance of crew safety that they represent are highly dependent upon a precise sequence of events that is manually initiated by the crew. The primary objective was to evaluate the crew's capability to respond positively and accurately to initiate abort/escape action under simulated high stress conditions. The secondary objective was to evaluate the overall adequacy of the crew displays relative to malfunction monitoring during Stage 'O' operation. The program objectives have been met by the simulation results. The capability of the crew to manually perform the abort/escape functions was established and the adequacy of the controls and displays was demonstrated. (Author)
