Six Navy Volunteers Test New Breathing Gear
Six Navy volunteers will complete an eight day test of a new compact breathing device designed for space flights. The system uses a solid chemical granule to release oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide and moisture. Volunteers Robert Muller, Nicholas Noche, William Lamb, Richard Fleschner, C T Cooper and Robert Breithaupt live in a 60 cubic foot ship with no books, their talks recorded by hidden mikes and viewed on CCTV. Meals are delivered through an airlock at irregular hours to cut time cues.
