During extra vehicular activity astronaut in Apollo Applications Program will be immersed in RF fields of various telemetry antennas that are part of cluster of vehicles; by calculating RF field from these antennas under conservative simplifying assumptions and comparing this with biologically acceptable limit for whole body RF radiation, it is established that large factor of safety for this hazard exists for astronaut; extra vehicular activity path from airlock module to Apollo telescope mount is shown in perspective drawing.
