First entry procedures implemented in the industrial setting are considered to identify those applicable to the situation on the SSF. Particular attention is given to consequences when these procedures are not followed. Operational scenarios for nominal first entry procedures intended to verify air quality before the crew enters the module are outlined. Components of the Environmental Health System will provide necessary monitoring capability to protect crew health and safety during the planned first entry procedures of the man-tended capability phase of the SSF program. It is apparent that first-entry scenarios have drawn heavily upon industry experience, tempered with the specific characteristics of the space flight environment.
